India has initiated a probe into the alleged dumping of drawer sliders by Chinese firms in the country. It has also initiated an anti-dumping probe on sulphur black imports from China.
The move is aimed at protecting domestic players from cheap imports from the neighbouring country.
The probe on drawer sliders was started after a complaint by Highhope Furniture Fittings Manufacturers Associates Pvt Ltd was received, which stated that the domestic industry is getting injured. The period of investigation is FY23.
In both cases, the Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) said that there is sufficient prima facie evidence of injury being caused to the domestic industry by dumped imports from China.
“The authority initiates a suo motu anti-dumping investigation on the imports,” it said.
The anti-dumping probe on sulphur black imports from China has been initiated based on a complaint filed by Atul Ltd. The period of investigation is April 2022-March 2023.
