On December 4, 2024, the Ministry of Finance (Department of Revenue) issued notification regarding the imposition of provisional anti-dumping duties on imports of “Textured Tempered Coated and Uncoated Glass.” These goods, classified under specific tariff headings, are primarily originating from or exported by China and Vietnam.

The findings highlighted that these products are being exported to India at dumped prices, causing substantial growth in imports relative to domestic production and consumption. This influx has significantly harmed the domestic industry, creating a case for protective measures. The designated authority recommended anti-dumping duties to mitigate these effects and support the domestic market.

Based on this recommendation and under Section 9A(2) of the Customs Tariff Act, 1975, combined with the Customs Tariff Rules of 1995, the government imposed provisional anti-dumping duties on these products. Specific producers and exporters were named, including notable Chinese companies like Anhui Flat Solar Glass Co., Ltd., and several others. Each producer’s duty rates, in USD per metric ton, were specified. Duties on Vietnamese producers followed similarly.

The anti-dumping duties will remain in effect for six months from the notification’s publication, unless amended or revoked. These measures aim to restore balance and protect the domestic industry from unfair trade practices while ensuring compliance with international trade regulations.
