India's anti-dumping duty on solar glass imported from China may be extended for another two years
2022-08-09
The General Administration of trade relief (dgtr) proposed to extend the anti-dumping duty on tempered glass (solar glass) imported from China for another two years.
Dgtr found that solar glass continued to be exported to India at a price lower than the normal value, leading to continuous dumping. During the sunset review investigation, the dumping margin increased compared with the original investigation.
According to the investigation results, considering the dumping and harmful prices of export commodities, the volume of imports from China may increase significantly. Dgtr found that China's solar glass manufacturers and exporters are highly export-oriented, and they have a large amount of excess capacity.
After reviewing dumping, injury and the possibility that dumping and injury may continue or recur, dgtr concluded that it is necessary to continue to impose anti-dumping duties.
background
The Ministry of finance has imposed anti-dumping duties on China's solar glass for five years, effective from August 18, 2017. At the request of borosil renewables, an Indian solar glass manufacturer, dgtr launched an anti-dumping investigation.
After investigation, dgtr found that there is no essential difference between solar glass exported from China and solar glass produced in India. The Bureau believes that domestic solar glass is comparable with imported products in terms of physical characteristics, production technology, manufacturing process and use.
Price weakening and suppression
Dgtr found that the landed value of China's solar glass was significantly lower than the net sales realized by the domestic industry. Therefore, the import price is lower than that of the domestic industry. Dgtr also found that the weighted average landed value of Chinese solar glass is always lower than the weighted average selling price and weighted average cost of domestic solar glass. It also found that the price of imported solar glass was less than 50 to 60 rupees per ton.
Dgtr pointed out that one of the Chinese manufacturers transferred its exports from China to Malaysia after imposing anti-dumping duties on China. During the whole survey period, the total market share of imports from China and Malaysia was large.
Proposed anti dumping duty
Dgtr proposes to impose an anti-dumping duty of 192.82 USD / T on the solar glass originated from or exported from China by the flat glass group, Anhui flat solar glass Co., Ltd. and Zhejiang Jiafu Glass Co., Ltd. The anti-dumping duty of 253.39 US dollars / ton was levied on Shaanxi, and topray solar CO and $226.37/mt were also levied on Wujiang CSG Glass Co., Ltd. and Dongguan CSG Solar Glass Co., Ltd.
The anti-dumping duty of US $302.65/t will be levied on solar glass from any country other than China.

In March this year, dgtr proposed to impose anti-dumping duties on imported fluorine-containing backplanes originating in or exported from China for a period of five years. Renewsys, an Indian component manufacturer, launched an anti-dumping investigation after it claimed that China's fluorine backplane was the same as that made in India.
Dgtr also proposed to impose anti-dumping duties on certain flat aluminum products imported from China to offset the damage caused by dumping in the Indian market. Hindalco industries has submitted an application for anti-dumping investigation on imported flat aluminum products used for solar installation structures.
