India Lifts AD Duty on Imported Textile Input From China, Indonesia

India recently lifted its antidumping duty on imports of viscose staple fiber from China and Indonesia, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council reported Aug. 24. India lifted the duties on the textile inputs amid strong lobbying from industry, which said the duties inflated the costs of the “essential input.” India’s Directorate General of Trade Remedies recommended lifting the duty despite determining a “likelihood that dumping might recur in the future,” the report said.
