The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs ( CBIC ) has imposed an anti-dumping duty ( ADD ) of $234 per metric ton on imports of “Unframed Glass Mirrors,” classified under tariff item 7009 91 00 of the First Schedule to the Customs Tariff Act, 1975.
However, the framed glass mirrors or decorative glass mirrors and mirror glass coated by silver are specifically excluded from the anti dumping duty.

The authority’s investigation revealed a significant and positive dumping margin for the subject goods imported from the People’s Republic of China, indicating that these products were being sold in India at prices substantially lower than their normal value.
Furthermore, it was determined that the domestic glass industry has suffered material injury due to these dumped imports, which has led to the recommendation for the imposition of the anti-dumping duty.
The government, exercising its powers under sub-sections (1) and (5) of section 9A of the Customs Tariff Act, along with the relevant rules, has officially enacted this duty to mitigate the adverse impact on the domestic industry.
