India Imposes Anti-Dumping Duty on Monoisopropylamine Imports From China

The Central Government, through Notification No. 08/2026-Customs (ADD) dated 22 May 2026, has imposed anti-dumping duty on imports of “Monoisopropylamine” originating in or exported from the People’s Republic of China. The decision follows final findings issued by the Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) on 23 February 2026, which concluded that the product was being exported to India below its normal value, resulting in dumping and causing material injury to the domestic industry. The findings also noted that the landed value of imports undercut domestic prices. Consequently, the government imposed an anti-dumping duty of USD 290 per metric tonne on the subject goods imported from China, whether directly or through third countries. The levy will remain in force for five years from the date of publication of the notification unless revoked, superseded, or amended earlier. The notification also clarifies that customs classification is only indicative and not binding on product scope.
