The anti-dumping duty has been recommended by the Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) after conducting an investigation on the dumped imports of ‘Dispersion Unshifted Single-mode Optical Fiber’ from China, Korea and Indonesia.
The Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR), a unit under the Ministry of Commerce, has proposed the imposition of an anti-dumping duty on a specific type of optical fiber imports from China, Korea, and Indonesia.
DGTR has recommended the duty after conducting an investigation on the dumped imports of ‘Dispersion Unshifted Single-mode Optical Fiber’ from these countries. The move aims to safeguard the domestic industry against low-priced foreign shipments. The product is mainly applied to high-data-rate, long distance and access network transportation.
Birla Furukawa Fiber Optics Pvt. Ltd, representing the domestic industry, has demanded an investigation into the product from the mentioned countries for anti-dumping. They claimed that the dumped imports are causing injury to the domestic industry and have asked for imposing duties.
According to the findings of the directorate, the domestic industry has suffered material injury due to the dumped imports. The presence of dumped imports has resulted in selling the product at a loss, affecting the domestic industry’s profitability. The DGTR has suggested imposing anti-dumping duties to eliminate the injury to the domestic industry.
The final decision to impose the duty is taken by the finance ministry within three months of the recommendation made by DGTR.
