India initiates anti-dumping probe into aluminium-, zinc-coated flat products from VN
HÀ NỘI India has initiated an anti-dumping investigation into imports of flat-rolled steel products plated or coated with aluminium or zinc originating in or exported from three countries, Việt Nam, China and South Korea.
The application was filed by JSW Steel Coated Products Limited, which accounts for more than 六0 per cent of the total production of these flat products in India.
They are used in many applications and sectors like infrastructure, solar power, roofing, walling, decking, cladding, and framing.
The petitioner claimed that the alleged dumping caused injury to domestic industry in the form of increased volume of dumped imports in absolute terms and in relation to production and consumption in India, price suppression, price underselling, capacity utilisation, profitability, cash profits, and return on capital employed.
The period of investigation was from October 一, 二0 一 七 to September 三0, 二0 一 八.
According to a notification of the initiation issued by the India Ministry of Co妹妹erce and Industry earlier this week, the investigation into the alleged dumping and consequent injury to domestic industry would determine the existence, degree and effect of alleged dumping and whether the rate of antidumping duty, if levied, would be adequate to remove the injury.
According to the Trade Remedies Authority of Việt Nam, the petitioner claimed that Việt Nam should be treated as a non-market economy country.
It urged relevant Vietnamese export firms to co-operate with the investigation agency, adding that in case of non-cooperation, the investigation agency would record its findings on the basis of the facts available to it. VNS
