The Finance Ministry has imposed provisional anti-dumping duty on ‘opal glassware’ imports from China and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This duty will be valid for a period of six months, the Revenue Department has said.
Based on recommendations of the Designated Authority in the Commerce Ministry, the department has now imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty of $0.82 a kg on all types of ‘opal glassware’ produced and exported by Wenzhou Huishunda Industrial Trade Co Ltd, China.
For other producers and exporters of ‘opal glassware’ from China, the anti-dumping duty has been pegged at $0.98/kg. In the case of UAE, the anti-dumping duty has been pegged at $0.68/kg for all producers/exporters from that country.
Opal glass is a milky white glass widely used in lighting fixtures and tableware. It has a property of diffusing light which makes opal glassware attractive. Opal glassware is used for general serving including serving of tea, coffee, soup and snacks.
La Opala RG Ltd had filed the petition seeking anti-dumping probe on ‘opal glassware’ imports from China and the UAE.
