The Designated Authority in the Commerce Ministry has proposed an interim anti-dumping duty on imported ‘Opal Glassware' of all types from China and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) following a written petition from domestic industry La Opala RG Ltd.
Opal Glass is a milky white glass used in lighting fixtures and tableware. It has a property of diffusing light which makes opal glassware alluring. The product under probe is used for general serving of tea, coffee, soup and snacks.
After duly assessing the submissions made by stakeholders and issues raised by them, the Authority provisionally concluded that the subject goods from China and the UAE was exported to India below normal values and that the level of dumping margins and injury margins as provisionally determined remained ‘considerably significant'.
Accordingly, it proposed provisional anti-dumping duty of $0.82 a kg from the Chinese manufacturer-exporter Wenzhou Huishunda Industrial Trade Co Ltd , while any other producer or exporter using china as an export base would have to fork out an interim anti-dumping duty of $0.98 a kg.
In the case of any producer and exporter using the UAE as an export-base he would have to shell out an interim anti-dumping duty of $0.68 a kg.
The Authority held that no exporter from the UAE has furnished exporters' questionnaire response indicating export price. Hence, the Authority provisionally determined the export price for UAE on its own which was explained in the detailed preliminary report it has put together.
