Govt asks Customs to be vigilant about dumping, re-routing 

The Commerce Ministry has alerted the Customs authorities to maintain strict vigilance on imports and exports amid concerns about possible dumping of goods and re-routing of consignments from India to third countries following the imposition of high tariffs by the US on China. As sweeping tariffs have been imposed on China, its goods have become expensive in the US market, and this could lead to the diversion of goods into countries like India. Customs have been alerted about monitoring exports and imports to see if there is any extraordinary surge. India should not be used as a re-routing destination. The concerned line ministries and industry associations have also been asked to provide inputs on any surge in imports and impact on the domestic industry, as per a report.
