“India” excludes “the Kingdom” from the imposition of dumping duties on imports of (saturated alcohol)

Media In / Agencies / Riyadh 24 April 2018
India today, represented by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry – Dumping Public Administration, has accepted Saudi Arabia’s request to exempt it from imposing dumping duties on India’s imports of saturated alcohol produced by Saudi Kayan Petrochemical Company.
The Indian Commission of Inquiry approved the acceptance of the Kingdom’s request for the fact that Kayan’s production of this substance began mainly in May 2015, and the quantities sold in India were less than 308 tons, less than 3% of the total Indian imports of this substance during the investigation period. The Indian Investigation Commission decided to exclude the Kingdom due to the small market share of the Kingdom’s exports of this substance in the Indian market, while continuing legal proceedings against India’s imports of this substance from Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand.
The issue of outstanding issues, which is being followed up by the Panel on Support and Dumping Issues, is being chaired by His Royal Highness Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, Minister of State for Energy Affairs.
