DGTR recommends anti-dumping duty on rayon yarn imports from China

India's Directorate General of Trade Remedies, a body under the trade ministry, has recommended anti-dumping duties ranging from $386 to $1,071 per metric ‌ton on ⁠imports ⁠of viscose rayon filament yarn from China, a government notification said on Monday.

The trade remedies ​authority recommended anti-dumping duties on viscose rayon filament yarn above 75 deniers ​imported from China, a type ⁠of man-made ‌fibre widely used ​in textiles, ​the notification said.

The recommended duties ⁠include $386 per metric ton for Xinxiang Chemical ​Fibre Co Ltd, $667 for Jilin Chemical ​Fiber Co Ltd, and $518 for Yibin Hiest Fibre Limited Corporation and related exporters, while other producers would face $1,071 per metric ton, the government statement ‌said.


The investigation found that dumped imports from China had increased and ​depressed ​domestic prices, ⁠causing material injury to Indian producers.

The duties, if approved by the finance ministry, would ​apply for five years to imports of the yarn.

China's embassy in India did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
