The Indian government has imposed anti-dumping duties on welded stainless steel pipes and tubes from Vietnam and Thailand. These duties will last for five years. Here are the key details:
| Key Points | Details |
|---|---|
| Imposed Duty | $246-307 per metric tonne, depending on the producer and origin country. |
| Duration | Five years. |
| Reason | The DGTR found that imports from these countries were “at dumped prices.” This caused injury to India’s domestic industry. |
| Duty for Thai Producers | $246 per metric tonne, except for I Stainless Steel Co Ltd. |
| Duty for Vietnamese Producers | $307 per metric tonne, except for Sonha SSP and Steel 568 Co. |
| Probe Period | Imports between April 2022 and March 2023. |
| Complaint | The Stainless Steel Pipe and Tubes Manufacturer Association is based in Delhi. The Stainless Steel Pipe & Tubes Manufacturers Association is located in Gujarat. |
| Domestic Industry Participation | About 40 domestic producers, representing half of India’s production, submitted data for the investigation. |
| Foreign Producers’ Defense | Argued that the ASME-BPE certified products under investigation are not available in India and should be excluded from the scope. |
The anti-dumping duty aims to protect Indian manufacturers from unfair trade practices. It also aims to restore a level playing field in the domestic market.
