DGTR initiates anti-dumping probe into glass fibre imports from China, Bahrain

The Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) has initiated an anti-dumping probe into the import of glass fibre from China, Thailand and Bahrain following a complaint by a domestic player. The duty is aimed at protecting the domestic industry from cheap imports. It is probing the alleged dumping of glass fibres and its articles originating in or exported from these countries. Glass fibre or fibreglass is reinforced plastic that is strong, lightweight, flexible and can be moulded into many complex shapes. It has many industrial and domestic uses. If it is established that the dumping has caused material injury to domestic players, the DGTR would recommend the imposition of anti-dumping duty on these imports. The Finance Ministry takes the final decision to impose duties, as per a report.
