Resumen de India extends soda ash anti-dumping duty to 2018
Following months of review, India will extend anti-dumping duties on soda ash imports until July 2018.
The Indian government has extended the country's anti-dumping duties on soda ash imports from a number of countries until 2 July 2018.
Since 2012, India has imposed varying level of anti-dumping duties on soda ash imports from China, the US, Kenya, Ukraine, the EU, Iran and Pakistan.
Tata Chemicals China and the US are two of the biggest global exporters. Imports from China incur a duty of $36.26/tonne, while material from the US is subjected to a duty of $38.79/tonne.
In 2015 the India Glass Manufacturers' Federation (AIGMF) applied to the Ministry of Commerce and Industry to scrap the import duties, claiming that the circumstances have changed and the duties are no longer warranted.
The government published its mid-term review in September 2016 and had recommended scrapping the anti-dumping duties, but the final findings were challenged by petitioners.
