The Ministry of Finance has imposed a countervailing duty (CVD) on imports of Textured Toughened (Tempered) Coated or Uncoated Glass originating in or exported from Vietnam, following a final investigation by the Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR).
The DGTR, in its final findings dated February 11, 2025, concluded that the subject goods were being exported from Vietnam at subsidized prices, causing material injury to Indian domestic manufacturers. Acting on these findings, the Central Government has imposed a reference-price-based countervailing duty for a period of five years, unless revoked earlier.
Goods Covered: Textured Toughened (Tempered) Glass, including solar PV glass and other similar high-transmission, low-iron solar glass types.
Tariff Headings: 7003, 7005, 7007, 7016, 7020, and 8541.
Producers Affected:
Flat (Vietnam) Co., Ltd: CVD imposed at USD 593 per metric tonne (MT), adjusted against any anti-dumping duties already in place.
Other Producers in Vietnam: CVD set at USD 664/MT.
Producers in Other Countries exporting via Vietnam: Also subjected to USD 664/MT.
The duties are designed to operate in tandem with the anti-dumping duties imposed under Notification No. 11/2025-Customs (ADD) dated May 8, 2025. An illustration in the notification clarifies that the countervailing duty will be calculated after deducting any anti-dumping duties already levied on the same consignment.
