The Finance Ministry has imposed anti-dumping duty on sulphur black imports from China.
Suphur black is mainly used for dyeing cellulose fibre. It is also used for dyeing viscose staple fibre and yarn, paper and leather.
Based on the recommendations of the Designated Authority in the Commerce Ministry in its final findings of sunset review, the Revenue Department has now imposed anti-dumping duty of $766 per tonne on sulphur black imports from China.
This anti-dumping duty will be valid for five years.
The application for the sunset review was filed by Atul Ltd and Bhanu Dyes Pvt Ltd on behalf of the domestic industry.
The Designated Authority in the Commerce Ministry had initiated the sunset review in April last year.
