India’s Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) under the commerce ministry recently recommended that anti-dumping duty (ADD) be imposed on import of trichloro isocyanuric acid, a chemical used for water treatment, from China and Japan to protect the domestic industry from cheap shipments.

The decision followed a DGTR investigation into reported dumping of the chemical from these two countries. Bodal Chemicals Ltd had filed the application for the investigation.

''The authority recommends imposition of provisional anti-dumping duty on the imports of the subject goods,'' the DGTR notification said.

The recommended duty is in the range of $170-$870 per tonne.

The finance ministry will take the final decision to impose the ADD within three months of the recommendation.
