Final Findings - Natural Mica Based Pearl Industrial Pigments Sunset Review (China PR)
DGTR has issued its Final Findings in the sunset review of anti-dumping duty on Natural Mica based Pearl Industrial Pigments (excluding Cosmetic Grade) from China PR (Case No. AD (SSR)-15/2025), initiated on 5 March 2026 on an application by Sudarshan Chemical Industries Limited. The Authority concluded that expiry of the duty is likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping and injury, and recommended that the existing anti-dumping duty, imposed in 2021 and modified in 2023, continue for a further five years at the same rates. Producers or exporters that had an individual rate in the original investigation but did not file a questionnaire response in the review are to be placed at the residual duty rate.
In procedural terms, these are recommendations to the Ministry of Finance, which has three months to decide whether to notify the continued duty through a Customs notification; until then, the duty currently in force remains the operative measure. For Chinese producers and exporters, the findings are significant because non-participation in the review leads to loss of any individual duty rate and the higher residual rate. For Indian importers of pearl pigments used in paints, coatings, plastics and automotive applications, the likely outcome is that current duty costs continue for five more years. For the domestic industry, the findings confirm the continued protection it sought in the review.

Final Findings - Insoluble Sulphur Anti-Absorption Review (China PR)
DGTR has issued its Final Findings in the anti-absorption review of anti-dumping duty on Insoluble Sulphur from China PR (Case No. AD (AA)-02/2026), initiated on an application by OCCL Limited, the sole Indian producer. The Authority found that the duty of USD 307 per MT in force had been absorbed, because export prices fell by more than the duty while the cost of production, particularly sulphur and other raw materials, did not decline and the domestic industry could not raise its prices to match. It reassessed the dumping and injury margins as significantly higher than in the original investigation and recommended modifying the duty to the lesser of the two, a fixed USD 485 per MT for China PR. The Authority further recommended that the modified duty apply retrospectively from 3 July 2026, when provisional assessment of imports began, so that provisional assessments on or after that date are finalised at the new rate. The duty on Japan is not affected.
This is a recommendation to the Ministry of Finance, which must notify the revised duty for it to take effect. Importers of insoluble sulphur, used mainly in tyre and rubber manufacturing, face a potentially higher duty with retrospective effect on provisional assessments since July 2026, and should review their cost and contract exposure. Chinese exporters, none of whom participated in the review, have no individual rate to rely on. The domestic producer gains restored effectiveness of the measure.

Sunset Review Initiated - Anti-Dumping Duty on N, N-Dicyclohexyl Carbodiimide (DCC)
DGTR has initiated a sunset review of the anti-dumping duty on imports of N, N-Dicyclohexyl Carbodiimide (DCC) under Case No. AD/SSR/013/2026, with the initiation notification published on the SETU portal on 30 September 2026. A sunset review is the procedure under which the Designated Authority examines whether the anti-dumping duty should be continued beyond its five-year life. It looks at whether the expiry of the duty would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping and injury to the domestic industry. The existing duty generally stays in force while the review is pending, so importers should keep factoring it into landed costs until DGTR issues its findings and the Ministry of Finance acts on them.
For domestic producers of DCC, the review is the opportunity to show that the injury caused by dumping would be likely to return if the duty lapsed, and the questionnaire responses and data filed during the review will shape the outcome. For exporters and foreign producers, it is the chance to engage as interested parties, contest the likelihood of dumping and injury, and seek a different treatment. For importers and downstream users in the pharmaceutical and fine chemical segments, participation matters because the findings will decide whether the duty continues and at what level. Interested parties must register and file within the timelines in the notification, and missing them can mean the Authority proceeds on the information available.

Anti-Dumping Investigation Initiated - Persulphates from China PR
On 30 September 2026 the Designated Authority at the DGTR initiated an anti-dumping investigation (SETU Case AD/OI/050/2026) concerning imports of Persulphates, also known as Peroxosulphates, originating in or exported from China PR. The application was filed by Calibre Chemicals Private Limited and UI VR Private Limited, who allege that dumped imports are causing material injury to the domestic industry. The product covers ammonium, potassium and sodium persulphates, which are used as initiators and oxidising agents in the textile and chemical industries.
Initiation opens the formal process in which interested parties register on SETU, respond to questionnaires and comment on the product under consideration before preliminary and final findings. For the applicant producers, this is the stage at which dumping and injury evidence is tested. For Indian textile and chemical users that import persulphates from China, a duty recommendation would raise input costs. For Chinese exporters, timely registration and a complete questionnaire response are the main safeguard against a determination on the facts available.

Countervailing Duty Investigation Initiated - Internally Grooved Copper Tubes and Pipes
The DGTR initiated an original countervailing duty investigation (SETU Case CVD/OI/009/2026) concerning imports of Internally Grooved Copper Tubes and Pipes (IGT). The initiation notification was published on SETU on 29 September 2026, on the same day as the companion anti-dumping initiation on the same product (Case AD/OI/055/2026).
A countervailing duty case examines whether foreign government subsidies are benefiting exporters and injuring or retarding the domestic industry, which makes it a separate exercise from dumping. For Indian producers, parallel AD and CVD cases can lead to stacked protection. For importers in the HVAC and refrigeration sectors, it signals potential duty exposure on current sourcing. For exporters and the governments of the subject countries, it means responding to questionnaires on subsidy programmes as well as on pricing, and early registration on SETU is essential.

Sunset Review Initiated - Countervailing Duty on Copper Tubes and Pipes from Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam
On 28 September 2026 the Designated Authority at the DGTR initiated a sunset review (Case CVD (SSR) 001/2026) of the countervailing duties on imports of Copper Tubes and Pipes originating in or exported from Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. The review was sought by Ram Ratna Wires Limited and MetTube Copper India Private Limited under Section 9(6) of the Customs Tariff Act and Rule 24(3) of the CVD Rules, which provide that a countervailing duty ceases after five years unless a review finds that its expiry is likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of subsidisation and injury.
The duty remains in force while the review is pending. For the domestic industry, this is the route to keeping protection beyond the sunset date. For importers of copper tubes and pipes, such as HVAC and refrigeration manufacturers, it determines whether duty-paid sourcing from the three countries continues. For exporters and the governments concerned, it is the opportunity to show that subsidisation and injury are unlikely to recur. Registration and questionnaire responses must be filed within the notified timelines.

Mid-Term Review Initiated - Anti-Dumping Duty on Sodium Cyanide from China PR and European Union
On 30 September 2026 the Designated Authority at the DGTR initiated a mid-term review (Case AD/MTR/006/2026) of the anti-dumping duties imposed on imports of Sodium Cyanide originating in or exported from China PR and the European Union under Customs Notification No. 10/2024-Customs (ADD) dated 27 June 2024. The review was sought by Superform Chemistries Limited and is limited to modification of the quantum of the duties on account of changed circumstances, under Section 9A(5) of the Customs Tariff Act and Rule 23 of the Anti-Dumping Rules.
A mid-term review does not reopen the existing duty from scratch, but it can change the amount payable. For domestic producers it is the opportunity to defend the current level of protection. For importers it is a chance to argue for a lower duty. For exporters in China and the EU it is a chance to put on record changed cost, pricing and export circumstances. Interested parties must register and file within the timelines in the notification, and missing them can mean the Authority decides on the facts available.

On 30 September 2026 the Designated Authority at the DGTR initiated a sunset review (Case AD/SSR/011/2026) of the anti-dumping duty on imports of Toluene Di-Isocyanate (TDI) originating in or exported from China PR, Japan and Korea RP, on an application by Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers & Chemicals Limited. The original investigation began in October 2016 and led to duties imposed in 2017. Under Section 9A(5) of the Customs Tariff Act, the duty lapses after five years unless a review shows that its expiry is likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping and injury.
The duty stays in force while the review is pending. For the domestic industry, this is the route to keeping protection beyond the sunset date. For importers of TDI, such as polyurethane foam and coatings users, it decides whether the cost of duty-paid imports continues. For exporters in the three countries, it is the chance to show that dumping and injury are unlikely to recur. Timely registration and questionnaire responses are critical.

Anti-Dumping Investigation Initiated - Internally Grooved Copper Tubes and Pipes from China PR, Thailand and Viet Nam
The DGTR initiated an original anti-dumping investigation (Case AD/OI/055/2026) into imports of Internally Grooved Copper Tubes and Pipes (IGT) originating in or exported from China PR, Thailand and Viet Nam. The notification is dated 24 September 2026 and appears on SETU from 29 September 2026. The applicant, MetTube Copper India Private Limited, alleges that dumped imports are materially retarding the establishment of the domestic industry. IGT were excluded from the earlier copper tubes countervailing duty case because there was no domestic production, and no anti-dumping or countervailing duty is currently in force on the product.
This is a new-entrant case. Material retardation, rather than injury to an established industry, is the injury standard the Authority will test. For the applicant and any other Indian producer, it is a chance to secure a first duty. For importers in HVAC and refrigeration, it signals possible duty exposure on current sourcing. For exporters in three countries, early registration and a full questionnaire response are the main protection against a facts-available determination.

For domestic producers of Isopropyl Alcohol, this is the stage at which injury and dumping evidence is tested. For overseas exporters and Indian importers of the product, the investigation could result in recommendation of anti-dumping duties, so early engagement on questionnaire responses, product scope (PUC/PCN) and volume/price data is critical.

The DGTR has initiated an anti-dumping investigation (Case No. AD/OI/054/2026) concerning imports of Clavulanic Acid, also known as Potassium Clavulanate, and its Amine Salt originating in or exported from China PR and the European Union. Clavulanic acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor used with antibiotics such as amoxicillin, so the case is relevant to the pharmaceutical supply chain.
The initiation opens the formal process in which interested parties register, respond to questionnaires, comment on product scope and the product under consideration, and attend hearings before the Authority recommends any duty. Domestic producers who supported the application, importers of the product from the two named territories, and Chinese and EU exporters should each review the notification for deadlines and the period of investigation, because a recommended duty would apply to imports from both territories if injury is found.

The DGTR has initiated an anti-circumvention investigation (Case No. AD/AC/005/2026) into alleged circumvention of the anti-dumping duty imposed on Alloy Steel Chisel/Tool and Hydraulic Rock Breaker in fully assembled condition originating in or exported from China PR and Korea RP, through imports of the same goods in parts or otherwise altered form.
If circumvention is established, the existing anti-dumping duty can be extended to the circumventing imports, so importers of rock breaker parts and exporters in the supply chain face a risk of duty exposure on those shipments. Domestic producers benefiting from the existing duty, importers of parts and components, and the exporters concerned should review the notification for the scope of the inquiry and the response deadlines.
Our trade remedies team at ASL Legal advises domestic producers, importers, and exporters through each stage of AD/CVD proceedings before the DGTR.

Final Findings - 4-Aminodiphenylamine (4-ADPA) from China PR and the European Union
The DGTR has issued Final Findings in the anti-dumping investigation concerning imports of 4-Aminodiphenylamine (4-ADPA) originating in or exported from China PR and the European Union (Case No. AD (OI) 27/2025). 4-ADPA is a key intermediate for rubber antioxidants such as 6PPD used in tyre manufacturing. The application was filed by NOCIL Limited, and the period of investigation was April 2024 to March 2025.
The Authority has recommended anti-dumping duty equal to the lesser of the dumping margin and the injury margin on imports from both subject territories for five years from the date of the Central Government's notification. Because 4-ADPA feeds directly into rubber chemicals, tyre and rubber-chemical producers importing from China or the EU should factor the recommended duty into procurement, and exporters from both territories should review their individual rates.

Final Findings - Belting Fabric of Polyester or Nylon from China PR
The DGTR has issued Final Findings in the anti-dumping investigation concerning imports of Belting Fabric made of 80% or more of polyester or nylon from China PR (Case No. AD (OI) 44/2025). Belting fabric is the reinforcing textile used in conveyor belts for mining, cement, steel and other bulk-handling industries.
The Authority rejected arguments that the case should be terminated for lack of injury and has recommended definitive anti-dumping duty on Chinese imports for five years, at the producer- and exporter-specific amounts in the duty table. It found that the impact of the duty on downstream users would be negligible and that imports would remain available. Conveyor belt manufacturers relying on Chinese fabric should prepare for the duty once the Central Government notifies it, and Chinese exporters should confirm their allocated rates.

Final Findings - Normal Butanol (N-Butyl Alcohol) from Taiwan and Saudi Arabia
The DGTR has issued Final Findings in the anti-dumping investigation concerning imports of Normal Butanol (N-Butyl Alcohol), a solvent and chemical intermediate used in paints, coatings, acrylates and pharmaceuticals, originating in or exported from Taiwan and Saudi Arabia (Case No. AD (OI) 30/2025). The application was filed by The Andhra Petrochemicals Limited, and the period of investigation was April 2024 to March 2025.
Applying the lesser duty rule, the Authority has recommended anti-dumping duty on imports from both subject countries, in the per-tonne amounts set out in the duty table, for five years from the date of the Central Government's notification. Normal Butanol from other sources is already subject to Indian anti-dumping measures, so this recommendation extends the duty net to two more supplying countries. Importers and downstream users sourcing from Taiwan or Saudi Arabia should review the company-specific rates, and exporters should assess the impact on their Indian pricing.

Final Findings - Diisononyl Phthalate (DINP) from Malaysia
The DGTR has issued Final Findings in the anti-dumping investigation concerning imports of Diisononyl Phthalate (DINP), a plasticiser used mainly in flexible PVC products such as cables, flooring and films, originating in or exported from Malaysia (Case No. AD (OI) 08/2025). The application was filed by KLJ Plasticizers Limited and KLJ Petroplast Limited.
The Authority has recommended anti-dumping duty equal to the lesser of the dumping margin and the injury margin for five years from the date of the Central Government's notification, under the second proviso to Rule 17(1)(b). The findings also address a residual rate for Malaysian producers who did not cooperate. Downstream PVC compounders and cable manufacturers using Malaysian DINP should plan for the proposed duty, while Malaysian exporters should check their individual rate against the duty table.

Final Findings - Certain Organophosphonates (HEDP Acid and ATMP Acid) from China PR
The DGTR has issued Final Findings in the anti-dumping investigation into imports of Certain Organophosphonates, namely Phosphonic Acids HEDP Acid and ATMP Acid, from China PR (Case No. AD (OI) 47/2025). These chemicals are widely used as scale and corrosion inhibitors in water treatment, detergents and industrial cleaning.
The Authority has recommended anti-dumping duty equal to the lesser of the dumping margin and the injury margin on imports from China PR for five years, from the date of the Central Government's notification. Several Chinese producers, including water-treatment chemical manufacturers, participated and now have company-specific rates in the duty table. Indian water treatment and detergent formulators that rely on Chinese HEDP or ATMP should review supply contracts ahead of a Ministry of Finance decision, while domestic producers can expect relief on the price pressure identified in the investigation.

25 Sept 2026
Final Findings - Wallpapers from China PR
The DGTR has issued Final Findings in the anti-dumping investigation concerning imports of Wallpapers originating in or exported from China PR (Case No. AD (OI) 42/2024). The Authority found dumping, injury to the domestic industry and a causal link between the two, and has recommended definitive anti-dumping duty on Chinese wallpapers for five years at the fixed rates specified in the duty table, taking effect from the date of the Central Government's notification.
The investigation had a long procedural history, including re-verification of a Chinese producer after the disclosure statement. For Chinese exporters, the final duty table now determines their cost of access to the Indian market, and any exporter not individually examined will face the residual rate. Importers, distributors and interior-décor retailers should expect higher landed costs if the Ministry of Finance accepts the recommendation, and domestic manufacturers gain a window of relief to recover price and volume.

Final Findings - Bis (2,2,6,6-Tetramethyl-4-Piperidyl) Sebacate (UV 770) from the European Union and China PR
The Directorate General of Trade Remedies has issued its Final Findings in the anti-dumping investigation concerning imports of Bis (2,2,6,6-Tetramethyl-4-Piperidyl) Sebacate (UV 770), a hindered amine light stabiliser used to protect polymers against UV degradation, originating in or exported from the European Union and China PR (Case No. AD (OI) 29/2025).
The case is notable because injury was assessed as material retardation to the establishment of an industry rather than material injury to an established one. The domestic industry, Clean Science and Technology Limited and Clean Fino-Chem Limited, accounts for the entire Indian production of the like article. The Authority concluded that the product was exported to India at dumped prices, that the establishment of the domestic industry was materially retarded, and that the dumped imports caused that retardation.
Applying the lesser duty rule, the Authority has recommended definitive anti-dumping duty on imports from both subject territories for five years, in the amounts set out in the duty table. The recommendation now goes to the Ministry of Finance, which normally has three months to decide whether to impose the duty. EU and Chinese exporters should review their individual rates in the duty table, and Indian compounders and masterbatch producers relying on imported UV 770 should factor the proposed duty into sourcing and pricing.

Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC) Resin - Anti-Circumvention Investigation Initiated Against Malaysia, Japan and Thailand
DGTR has initiated an anti-circumvention investigation (SETU Case ID AD/AC/006/2026) into alleged circumvention, through exports from Malaysia, Japan and Thailand, of the anti-dumping duty currently in force on imports of Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC) Resin - whether or not further processed into compound - originating in or exported from China PR and Korea RP. The existing duty, most recently continued via Customs Notification No. 15/2024-Customs (ADD) dated 23 August 2024 following a sunset review, was alleged by the domestic industry (DCW Limited, Epigral Limited and Lubrizol Advanced Materials India Private Limited) to be undermined by a change in the pattern of trade, with CPVC resin or compound sourced from China PR allegedly being routed through Malaysia (M/s Sasia Chlorine Polymers Sdn. Bhd.), Japan (M/s EBC Corporation) and Thailand (M/s Sekisui Specialty Chemicals (Thailand) Co. Ltd.) before entering India, without adequate economic justification.
Procedurally, DGTR has invoked Section 9A(1A) read with Rules 25 and 26 of the Anti-Dumping Rules to examine whether this pattern amounts to circumvention. The investigation is confined to the three named exporters, not the countries generally, and covers a period of investigation of 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026, with an injury period spanning 2022-23 through the POI. Interested parties, including the named exporters, importers and users of CPVC resin in India, and the governments of Malaysia, Japan and Thailand, must register on the SETU Portal and file questionnaire responses within 37 days of DGTR's notice calling for information, with extension requests due at least 3 days before that deadline. If circumvention is established, the existing anti-dumping duty could be extended to cover imports routed through these three countries, directly affecting importers and users who currently source CPVC resin from them.
