The Finance Ministry has imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on certain "textured toughened (tempered) glass" imports from China.
Textured toughened (tempered) glass is used as a component in solar photovoltaic panels and solar thermal applications.
This product is also known as solar glass, low iron solar glass or high transmission photovoltaic glass.
The duty aims at protecting the domestic industry from cheaper imports. It will be effective for five years.
Anti-Dumping Duty
An anti-dumping duty is a protectionist tariff that a domestic government imposes on foreign imports that it believes are priced below fair market value. Dumping is a process where a company exports a product at a price lower than the price it normally charges on its own home market.
To protect local businesses and markets, many countries impose stiff duties on products they believe are being dumped in their national market.
