In order to prevent the domestic industry from cheap imports from China and Vietnam, the government has imposed anti- dumping duty of up to $1.90 per piece on the imports of compact fluorescent lamps (CFL), which would be levied with effect from November 21, 2008. The duty would be ranged between $0.36 per piece to $1.90 per piece, the finance ministry said in a notification.
The imports from China and Vietnam are taking place at dumped prices and have caused material injury to the domestic industry, the Directorate General of Anti-Dumping and Allied Duties (DGAD) had recommended anti-dumping duty on imports of CFL.
The government earlier had imposed duty on several other products including yarns as well as fabrics, colour picture tubes, some aluminum products and chemicals.
