The Ministry of Finance has extended the imposition of anti-dumping duty on imports of “Clear Float Glass” originating from Malaysia. This extension will remain in force up to and inclusive of February 10, 2026, unless revoked or amended earlier.
The product in question is Clear Float Glass, which originates from Malaysia and falls under Chapter 70 of the Customs Tariff Act. The Government of India had first imposed an anti-dumping duty on its imports on November 11, 2020, to protect the domestic glass industry from injury caused by cheap imports. Following a review initiated by the Directorate General of Trade Remedies, the Ministry of Finance has now extended the imposition of this duty until February 10, 2026, unless revoked or amended earlier. This step ensures continued protection for Indian manufacturers against unfair trade practices and helps maintain a level playing field in the market.
The review, carried out under Section 9A(5) of the Customs Tariff Act, 1975, along with Rule 23 of the Customs Tariff (Identification, Assessment and Collection of Anti-Dumping Duty on Dumped Articles and for Determination of Injury) Rules, 1995, found continued justification for maintaining the anti-dumping measure originally imposed through Notification No. 37/2020-Customs (ADD) dated November 11, 2020.
The government stated that this duty is necessary to prevent injury to the domestic glass manufacturing industry due to dumping of the said product from Malaysia at unfairly low prices.
The continuation of this duty reflects India’s commitment to safeguarding its domestic industries against unfair international trade practices. Stakeholders in the glass manufacturing sector have welcomed the move as a protective shield for maintaining competitive balance in the market.
