Anti-dumping duty likely on aluminium products

New Delhi: The government may impose a provisional anti-dumping duty of up to $199 per tonne on imports of aluminium and zinc coated flat products from China, Vietnam and Korea, according to a notification of the commerce ministry.

The duty was recommended by the ministry's investigation arm Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) after conducting a thorough probe, following a complaint from JSW Steel Coated Products Ltd.

Aluminium and zinc coated flat products are used in infrastructure projects, solar power plants, roofing, and white goods.

The probe by the directorate concluded that there is a significant increase in imports of the goods from these three counties in absolute terms.
