The Ministry of Finance issued Notification No. 13/2025-Customs (ADD) dated June 6, 2025, imposing anti-dumping duties on imports of Insoluble Sulphur from China and Japan. The decision follows a detailed investigation and recommendation by the Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR), which found that the imported product was being dumped in the Indian market at unfairly low prices, causing significant harm to the domestic industry.
Findings of the Investigation
According to the DGTR’s final findings issued on March 7, 2025, Insoluble Sulphur exports from the subject countries were entering India at prices below normal value, resulting in dumping. This practice led to material injury to Indian manufacturers, and a direct causal link was established between the dumped imports and the injury sustained by domestic producers.
Scope and Duty Rates
The anti-dumping duty applies to Insoluble Sulphur classified under tariff items 38123930, 28020010, and 38249900. The duties vary by country and exporter:
From China PR:
- All producers/exporters: USD 307 per metric ton
From Japan:
- Shikoku Chemicals Corporation: USD 259 per metric ton
- Other producers: USD 358 per metric ton
Duties are also applicable to exports routed through third countries if the origin is China or Japan, ensuring comprehensive coverage against trade circumvention.
Duration and Currency
The anti-dumping duties are effective immediately from the date of publication in the Official Gazette and will remain in force for five years, unless amended or revoked earlier. The duties are payable in Indian Rupees, based on exchange rates notified under Section 14 of the Customs Act, 1962.
