GCC Takes Protective Measure on Imports from China and India
GCC Decision Includes 5-Year Anti-Dumping Measures on Ceramic Imports
The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) has decided to impose final anti-dumping duties on a range of ceramic sanitary ware products imported from China and India. The decision follows a recommendation from the GCC’s Permanent Committee to Combat Harmful Practices in International Trade and was approved by the Ministerial Committee comprising industry ministers from member states. The aim is to protect domestic Gulf industries and ensure fair competition in local markets.
The decision covers products such as kitchen sinks, washbasins and their pedestals, bathtubs, bidets, toilet seats, flush tanks, urinals, and other fixed ceramic sanitary ware.
