DGTR Recommends Increase in Anti-Dumping Duty on Insoluble Sulphur from China to USD 485/MT
The DGTR has recommended increasing the anti-dumping duty on Insoluble Sulphur imports from China PR from USD 307/MT to USD 485/MT. This recommendation follows OCCL Limited's complaint that Chinese exporters were absorbing the existing duty. The modified duty is proposed to be applied retrospectively from July 3, 2026.
The increase in anti-dumping duty could affect the cost of imports for users of Insoluble Sulphur, potentially influencing domestic pricing and competition. While the company believes it will support fair competition, the direct financial impact is yet to be quantified.
The company's complaint led to a recommended increase in anti-dumping duty, which is expected to support fair competition and strengthen trade measures, positively impacting the domestic market.
OCCL Limited has announced that the Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) has concluded its anti-absorption review investigation concerning anti-dumping duties on imports of 'Insoluble Sulphur' originating from China PR. The review was initiated based on an application by OCCL Limited, alleging that Chinese exporters were absorbing the existing anti-dumping duty, rendering it ineffective.
In its Final Findings dated September 18, 2026, notified on September 29, 2026, the DGTR has recommended an increase in the anti-dumping duty from USD 307 per MT to USD 485 per MT. The DGTR has further recommended that this modified duty be applied retrospectively from July 3, 2026, the date from which provisional assessment of such imports was made applicable.
The recommendation is now subject to consideration and notification by the Ministry of Finance, Government of India. OCCL Limited believes these findings will support fair competition in the domestic market and strengthen the effectiveness of trade remedial measures for Insoluble Sulphur. The company stated that it is currently not possible to quantify the financial impact arising from these findings.
