This may lead to Chinese ceramics in the Indian market "Fen hopeless"

India's anti-dumping case of Chinese ceramics have been the expiration of five years, while many enterprises in Guangdong ceramic hope to return in high spirits at the time of the Indian market, India set off a local ceramics company anti-dumping "sunset review" in an attempt to once again block in front of Chinese ceramics.

Experts said the India's "sunset review" a major impact, relevant enterprises must actively respond to, if lost this battle, the Chinese ceramics market in India, I am afraid the future is hard to stand up.

Not responding to eat2001 Indian anti-dumping case of ceramics, ceramic enterprises in Guangdong are undoubtedly difficult to forget the pain of mind. Year in August, the Indian official of China's ceramics business case indictment, the anti-dumping allegations, once established, will be China's ceramic tile Tablets Product to impose high anti-dumping duties, but in February 2003 until the final time, China did not have a business respondent. India was final: Since February 2003, the ceramic tile exports to China, India 8.28 U.S. dollars per square meter of taxation for a period of 5 years, its anti-dumping duty equivalent to almost twice the cost.

High anti-dumping duties to make the ceramic tiles in India which has more than one billion population market Make Achievements. Guangzhou Customs statistics showed that, although in recent years, Guangdong ceramic exports to India is growing, in 2006 exports 60,950,000 U.S. dollars, but India as a rapid economic development in emerging developing countries, in 2000 for its ceramics in Guangdong exports accounted for only Guangdong ceramics was 2% of total exports. In May this year, Guangdong exported to India is only the amount of ceramic 23,320,000 U.S. dollars, accounting for only the same period exports of Guangdong Ceramic 2.1% share of the export share of such a low, of course, be led to high anti-dumping duties. After 2004, new sources, such as in a handful of Guangdong ceramic export giant building for the review and has received a lower anti-dumping duties, but the Guangdong Ceramic strength in the Indian market has been injured and short-term difficult to restore.

"Review" of our impact

From Guangzhou Customs was informed that in April this year, India 10 ceramic tile manufacturers to submit a collective application, accused China of ceramic tiles in India there are still 317 percent anti-dumping margin, calls for China to continue to levy 5 tiles high in anti-dumping duties. India's Department of Trade and Industry on April 30 to start "sunset review" investigation, including nine in Guangdong Foshan ceramic enterprises, including a review of a number of Chinese enterprises.

China Ceramic Industrial Association Deputy Secretary-General Huang Hung core told reporters that the association has received about India to start a "sunset review" of the information, the survey is important because India has claimed that, including in anti-dumping review prior to when the low anti-dumping duties several enterprises, all to the outcome of the survey, whichever is to determine whether the number of dumping practices and collection of tax. He disclosed that there were already more than 10 Chinese companies to submit materials under investigation, in which more thanfor Guangdong enterprises, but there are still many enterprises did not react. He stressed that the review did not take part in the Indian market is equivalent to a waiver.

Guangzhou Customs said, according to the provisions of the WTO Anti-Dumping Agreement, investigating authorities in the 5-year period and are able to review or before that date within a reasonable time by the industry or industry representatives made the request of a retrial. The Indian tile "sunset review", are from India on behalf of domestic industry in accordance with the above requirements, the request of the Indian authorities to investigate ceramic enterprises in China and the United Arab Emirates for review. If in the "sunset review" China, India Indian authorities investigate tile enterprises continue to apply anti-dumping duty, the current anti-dumping measures will continue until February 4, 2013, and allegations in accordance with Indian companies, for not responding to the enterprise , anti-dumping duties could be as high as 300 percent more than this rate almost only exit the Indian market enterprises.
