The government of India has imposed anti- dumping duty of up to US$ 11.38 per kg on imports of viscose rayon filament yarn to counter cheap Chinese shipments. After concluding that imports from China and Vietnam are taking place at dumped prices which have caused material injury to the domestic industry, the Directorate General of Anti-Dumping and Allied Duties (DGAD) had recommended anti- dumping duty on the yarn.

The duty would be ranged between US$ 4.72 per kg and US$ 11.38 per kg, the Finance Ministry said in a notification.  Earlier, the government had imposed duty on several other products, including yarns, fabrics, colour picture tubes, some aluminum products and chemicals.
