China to keep imposing anti-dumping duties on Indian single-mode optical fibre imports

BEIJING: China will continue imposing anti-dumping duties on single-mode optical fibre imports from India for another five years starting on ‌Friday, ⁠the commerce ⁠ministry said on Thursday.

The ​decision follows a sunset review initiated a ​year ago, which concluded that terminating the anti-dumping ​measures could lead ⁠to the ‌continuation or recurrence ​of ​dumping and harm ⁠to China's domestic optical fibre industry.

The tax rates will remain unchanged from previous rulings, ranging between 7.4% and 30.6% across different Indian exporters, including Sterlite Technologies ‌with 7.4% rate and Aksh Optifibre and Finolex Cables both get ⁠30.6%.


China first implemented anti-dumping duties on Indian single-mode optical fibre in ​August 2014 and extended them for five years in 2020.
