Anti-Dumping Duty timeline
Year 2002-2008
• Before 2002, China had been flooding the Indian markets with low priced inferior quality tiles
This had led to a decline in the prices of vitrified and ceramic tiles, thereby lowering margins and profitability of domestic manufacturers
• After complaints filed by domestic manufacturers, the import of vitrified tiles by Indian companies from China and UAE came under scrutiny
• The Ministry of Finance, India, imposed an anti-dumping duty on vitrified tiles which were imported from China and UAE at the rate of USD 8.28 and USD 5.54 per sq. mtr,
respectively, for 5 years commencing from May 2002 until May 2007, which was further extended till May 2008
• However, some companies did not attract any anti-dumping duty pursuant to the Ministry of Finance’s exemptions dated July 28, 2004, Sep 8, 2006 and May 11,2007
• As per the exemptions granted, the Government of India accorded a New Shippers License to the producers, M/s. Nanhai Shangyuan Qulian Construction Ceramics Company,
China and Exporter Prestige General Trading, Dubai, UAE, whereby they could bring tiles into India without paying anti-dumping duty, as the exporting company received no
subsidies from the Chinese Government
Year 2009-2013
• While the Indian tile industry was reviving, the period of anti-dumping duty came to an end in 2008
• With this, the domestic manufacturers started facing pressure on account of dumping of ceramic tiles by the Chinese manufacturers
• Players like Kajaria Ceramics and H & R Johnson, filed complaints with government to impose anti-dumping duty on ceramic glazed tiles to guard domestic markets from being
flooded by cheap Chinese imports
• During this period, The Ministry of Commerce and Industry, issued a notification imposing a duty of INR 137 and INR 155 per sq. mtr on Chinese imports of ceramic glazed wall
and floor tiles, and vitrified tiles, respectively, for 5 years from 2009 to 2013, providing opportunities for the Indian tile Industry
Year 2013-2015
• In May 2013, the anti dumping duty on polished vitrified tiles and ceramic tiles was lifted by the government
• During the first year post withdrawal, the dumping was very low
• But, in the second year, India witnessed a fresh dumping of high grade tiles, especially vitrified tiles competing with the top most players of the country
• The volume of such import was about 50-60 Mn sq. mtr entailing value of INR 20 Bn
• To curb the Chinese dumping, Brazil and some Asian and European countries had imposed an anti-dumping duty on China which further boosted imports in India
