Did you know? India imposed anti-dumping duties on 267 products in 2023, affecting $12 billion in imports, with China accounting for 65% of cases, significantly impacting container freight rates and sourcing strategies.

Regulatory Framework and Implementation

The Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) administers anti-dumping investigations when domestic industries petition against unfairly priced imports. Duties are imposed when products are sold in India below normal value in the exporting country, causing material injury to domestic industry. The process involves detailed investigation, stakeholder consultations, and provisional duty imposition pending final determination.

Calculation Methods and Impact

Anti-dumping duties are calculated as the difference between normal value and export price, expressed as specific amounts per unit or ad valorem percentages. For example, Chinese steel imports face duties of $173-752 per ton, while solar cells attract 25% ad valorem duty. These duties significantly impact freight forwarding decisions as importers seek alternative suppliers, affecting trade lanes and container freight rates through demand shifts.

Business Implications and Compliance

Importers must factor anti-dumping duties into landed cost calculations and supply chain strategies. Duties remain in effect for five years (subject to review) and apply regardless of supplier, making alternative sourcing essential. Freight forwarding companies help clients navigate duty implications by identifying alternative suppliers, calculating total landed costs including duties, and optimizing shipping routes to minimize overall procurement costs in compliance with trade defense measures.
