The Ministry of Finance has imposed anti-dumping duties on Liquid Epoxy Resin (LER) originating in or exported from China, Korea, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, and Thailand.
The order takes effect immediately and will remain in force for five years unless modified or revoked earlier.
The decision follows a detailed investigation by the designated authority, which concluded that Liquid Epoxy Resin was being exported to India at prices below their normal value, resulting in dumping. These dumped imports caused material injury to the domestic industry. The landed value of imports was significantly below domestic selling prices, resulting in price undercutting and financial loss to Indian manufacturers.
Based on these findings, the authority recommended the imposition of anti-dumping duties to neutralize the adverse impact on the domestic industry.
The products covered fall under Customs Tariff Heading 3907 30 10 and 3907 30 90, classified as Liquid Epoxy Resins (LER), including grades having specified CAS numbers and equivalent weight limits. The notification expressly excludes solid, semi-solid, solution-based, waterborne, blended, modified, or brominated epoxy resin variants.
The amount of anti-dumping duty has been specified for each country and varies based on manufacturer and exporter. The duties range from around USD 37 per metric ton for specific named producers to as high as over USD 400 per metric ton for other exporters from certain countries. The duties apply to both direct exports from these countries as well as shipments routed through third countries.
The imposed duty will remain valid for five years and shall be payable in Indian currency. The applicable exchange rate for duty computation will be the rate notified under customs law on the date the Bill of Entry is filed.
