According to China’s Ministry of Commerce (MOC), India has extended antidumping (AD) duty on imports of certain steel products from China by five years, in a bid to retain protectionist barriers and stem the tide of cheap foreign products.
The long-term measure, on the import of seamless tubes, pipes and hollow profiles of iron, alloy or non-alloy steel, stands effective as of May 17 last year when the Indian government imposed provisional antidumping duties on the products in question.
