Government imposes anti-dumping duty on kitchenware products

Government has imposed an anti-dumping duty of $1,732.11 per tonne on import of melamine tableware and kitchenware products like dinner sets and mugs from China, Thailand and Vietnam.
Aim: To protect domestic industry from cheap shipments
Anti-dumping duty in-between $582.85 – 1732.11 per tonne will remain in effect for five years.
Key Point:
Anti-dumping: It analyses to test if domestic industries have been hurt because of an increase in cheap imports and also to ensure fair trade. It is not a measure to restrict imports or cause an unjustified surge in the cost of products.
