Anti Dumping Duty

Trade Insight. Informed Action.

Anti-dumping duty is a trade remedy measure imposed on imported goods that are sold in India at prices below their normal value in the exporting country, causing or threatening material injury to domestic industry. Investigations into such practices are conducted under the Customs Tariff Rules and overseen by the designated trade remedy authority, which examines evidence from domestic producers as well as foreign exporters and importers before recommending a duty. Both sides of a dumping investigation, domestic manufacturers seeking protection and importers facing higher costs, are directly affected by how these proceedings unfold.

Why This Matters

For domestic industry, failing to present a well-substantiated case can mean continued injury from unfairly priced imports and lost market share. For importers and exporters, an adverse finding can significantly raise landed costs or shut out a product line altogether. Because these investigations are technical, data-intensive, and time-bound, the quality of the submissions made to the authority often determines the outcome.

How We Help

Case Preparation for Domestic Industry

We assist domestic producers in compiling injury data, cost information, and market evidence needed to petition for an anti-dumping investigation, and in presenting a compelling, well-organised case to the authority.

Defence Support for Exporters and Importers

We help exporters and importers respond to questionnaires, submit rebuttal evidence, and participate in hearings to contest allegations of dumping or to argue for a lower duty rate.

Data Compilation and Regulatory Filings

We organise the extensive costing, pricing, and transaction data that these proceedings demand, ensuring submissions are consistent, accurate, and filed within the timelines set by the authority.

Ongoing Duty Review and Sunset Applications

We track duties that are approaching the end of their term and assist in preparing sunset review applications or responses, since these duties typically apply for a fixed period unless extended.

Who Needs This

• Domestic manufacturers affected by low-priced imports
• Exporters facing an anti-dumping investigation in India
• Importers assessing the cost impact of proposed duties
• Industry associations coordinating a joint petition
