India Proposes Anti-Dumping Duty on Chinese Glass Mirrors

The Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) of India's commerce ministry has recommended a USD 234 per tonne anti-dumping duty on Chinese unframed glass mirrors for five years. The move aims to safeguard the domestic industry from cheap imports. The final decision awaits the finance ministry's approval.

The Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) of India's commerce ministry has proposed a USD 234 per tonne anti-dumping duty on unframed glass mirrors from China, to be enforced for five years, to protect domestic manufacturers from low-cost imports.

An investigation by the DGTR revealed that the influx of cheap Chinese glass mirrors has adversely affected the local industry, particularly in sectors such as architecture and furniture manufacturing, as well as interior decoration in the construction business.

The All India Mirror Manufacturers Association highlighted that the surge in imports from China is harming the domestic market. Following their findings, the DGTR recommends the finance ministry implement the anti-dumping duty, with a decision expected within three months.
