China Imposes Anti-Dumping Duties on Indian Imports of Cypermethrin Starting May 7

Effective May 7, 2025, China will impose anti-dumping duties on imports of cypermethrin originating from India, according to Announcement No. 17 [2024] issued by the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China (hereinafter referred to as the "investigating authority").

In accordance with the Anti-Dumping Regulations of the People's Republic of China, the investigating authority initiated an anti-dumping investigation into cypermethrin imported from India on May 7, 2024. The investigation examined whether dumping existed and the extent of such dumping, whether the China's domestic industry had suffered material injury, and whether there was a causal link between the dumping and the injury.

On January 7, 2025, based on the preliminary findings and pursuant to Article 24 of the Anti-Dumping Regulations, the Ministry of Commerce issued a preliminary ruling, which found that dumping had occurred, the China's domestic cypermethrin industry had suffered material injury, and a causal relationship existed between the dumping and the injury.

Following the preliminary ruling, the investigating authority continued to examine the extent of the dumping, the damage to the domestic industry, and the causal link between the two. The investigation has now concluded, and in accordance with Article 25 of the Anti-Dumping Regulations, the Ministry of Commerce has issued its final determination.

The final ruling confirms that cypermethrin imported from India was dumped in the Chinese market, causing material injury to China's domestic cypermethrin industry, and that there is a causal relationship between the dumping and the injury.

Based on Article 38 of the Anti-Dumping Regulations, the Ministry of Commerce submitted a proposal to the Customs Tariff Commission of the State Council to impose anti-dumping duties. The Commission has accepted the recommendation, and effective May 7, 2025, anti-dumping duties will be levied on the subject products. The duties will range from 48.4% to 166.2%, depending on the Indian exporter, and will remain in effect for five years.
