The higher duty on the Chinese company is expected to raise the landed cost of Chinese fumed silica in India, potentially benefiting domestic producers
India on Tuesday increased the anti-dumping duty on Chinese untreated fumed silica after finding evidence that the firm in question was absorbing the duty. The Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) issued the order after concluding that Chinese exporter Shandong Dongyue Silicone Material had been absorbing the existing anti-dumping duties on untreated fumed silica exports to India, effectively nullifying the protective measure.
