The Ministry of Finance issued Notification No. 14/2025-Customs (ADD) dated June 6, 2025, imposing anti-dumping duties on imports of Vitamin-A Palmitate from China, the European Union, and Switzerland. The move comes after the Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) concluded that these imports were being dumped in the Indian market at unfairly low prices, causing material injury to domestic manufacturers.
Key Findings and Implications
Following a comprehensive investigation, the DGTR found that:
- Vitamin-A Palmitate was being exported to India at prices below the normal value;
- Domestic producers suffered significant financial injury as a result;
- The imported product’s pricing undercut local market prices, threatening the sustainability of Indian industry.
