India opens anti-dumping probe into Chinese glycine imports

India has begun an anti-dumping investigation into imports of glycine from China, according to The Hindu. The inquiry will examine whether the chemical has been dumped in the Indian market and whether that dumping caused material injury to domestic players. The supplied material does not provide the alleged import prices, the period under review or the names of the companies involved.

If the Directorate General of Trade Remedies, or DGTR, establishes that dumped imports caused material injury, it would recommend the imposition of duties. The report makes clear that such a recommendation would not itself impose the duties. The final decision rests with India’s Finance Ministry.

The available information does not indicate when the investigation will conclude or whether provisional measures are being considered. The probe is therefore an investigative step rather than a final determination that Chinese imports breached trade rules. The source does not provide a response from Chinese exporters or Indian chemical producers.
