Insights

  • India recently imposed an anti-dumping duty of between $460 and $681 per tonne on imports of titanium dioxide, a chemical used in the manufacturing of paper, paints, plastics, rubber and inks, from China.
  • The decision excludes titanium dioxide used in food, pharma, skin-care, textile and fibre application and nano or ultrafine titanium dioxide having particle size below 100 nm.
India’s Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) under the commerce ministry recently recommended imposition of an anti-dumping duty (ADD) of between $460 and $681 per tonne on imports of titanium dioxide, a chemical used in the manufacturing of paper, paints, plastics, rubber and inks, from China.

The step would protect domestic producers of titanium dioxide from cheap Chinese imports.

The decision excludes titanium dioxide used in food, pharma, skin-care, textile and fibre application and nano or ultrafine titanium dioxide having particle size below 100 nanometers.

Following a probe, DGTR concluded that the chemical has been exported to India at a price below the normal value, leading to dumping.

The probe was conducted following requests from Kerala Minerals and Metals Ltd, Travancore Titanium Products and VV Titanium Pigments.
