Chemical imports: India initiates probe against China

摘要

SEEKING to protect the domestic industry from dumping by Chinese companies, India has initiated investigations to consider imposition of countervailing duty on imports of key chemical, sodium nitrite, from the neighbouring country. The Directorate General of Anti-dumping and Allied Duties (DGAD) under the Commerce Ministry has initiated an investigation into a complaint by domestic firms alleging dumping of sodium nitrite originating in or exported from China, according to DGAD notification. Countervailing duties are imposed when a foreign country subsidises its exports, hurting domestic producers in the importing country.
