DGAD not to impose anti dumping duty on PSF imports

India government has decided not to impose anti-dumping duty on polyester staple fibre imports to India. The Directorate General of Anti-dumping and Allied Duties (DGAD), under the commerce ministry, Government of India, is not warranted on imports of polyester staple fibre (PSF) from China, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand. The period of investigation (POI) was 18 months from April 1, 2015 to September 30, 2016.
Non-dyed PSF ranging from 0.6 to 6 Deniers are predominantly used to spin yarn of 100% PSF or in blends with natural, artificial and/or synthetic staple fibres for manufacture of textiles, sewing thread, other industrial textiles, nonwoven applications, etc.

Though the import of product under consideration (PUC) has increased during POI as compared to base year, however, the quantum is not substantial as compared to total demand in India. The share of imports is only 7 per cent which is not significant enough to cause material injury to domestic industry.
