According to the news from China Trade Remedy Information Network, on September 28, the Indian Ministry of Commerce and Industry issued an anti-dumping final ruling announcement, determined that melamine originating from China was dumped, made an affirmative final ruling, and proposed to impose a 5-year anti-dumping duty on Chinese products involved in the case, with the duty range being 245-403 US dollars per ton. The Indian customs code corresponding to the products involved in the case is 29336100.

Case Origin

This investigation originated from an consumption by the Indian regional enterprise Gujarat State Fertilisers and Chemicals Limited. The Indian Ministry of Commerce and sector officially filed a case in September 2025, and the investigation period covered from April 2024 to March 2025. Melamine is an crucial crucial fine chemical raw material downstream of urea, which is broadly applied in the production of decorative panels, amino resins, plastics, coatings, adhesives and other items. India is one of the crucial export markets to China's melamine.

Ruling Highlights

The final ruling proposes to set differentiated tax rates, and different export companies will be subject to anti-dumping duties ranging from 245 US dollars per ton to 403 US dollars per ton. This proposal still needs to be finally confirmed by the Customs Department of the Indian Ministry of Finance. Once approved by the Ministry of Finance, the tariff will officially take effect and be implemented to 5 consecutive years.

sector Impact

Melamine is an crucial export variety in China's fertilizer-fine chemical sector chain. The Indian market has long undertaken a substantial number of domestic export goods. After the implementation of this 5-year anti-dumping duty, it will immediately increase the CIF cost of domestic melamine items entering the Indian market and weaken the price competitiveness of Chinese items. Relevant domestic production companies need to assess the order profits of the Indian market, simultaneously explore alternative export markets such as Southeast Asia and the Middle East, and optimize the layout of overseas markets.
