India slaps anti-dumping duty on rubber chemical imports from China, EU, US

India has imposed a five-year anti-dumping duty on a critical chemical used in the rubber and tyre manufacturing industries, ‘Sulphenamides Accelerators’, imported from China, the European Union and the United States. Following an intensive investigation, the Commerce Ministry’s investigative arm, the Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR), concluded that the chemical was being exported into Indian markets below its normal value, causing material injury and unfair competition for domestic manufacturers. According to a Finance Ministry notification dated June 19, 2026, the newly levied anti-dumping duty ranges widely between $75 per tonne and $1,748 per tonne, depending entirely on the specific overseas producer and exporter. 

Concurrently, the Department of Revenue extended existing duties on Chinese, Malaysian, Thai and Indonesian aluminium foil until December 15, while slapping a fresh $200.66 per tonne duty on Chinese Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) resin to maintain fair trade, according to a report.
