从孟加拉出口到印度的黄麻可能面临反倾销税

 

Jute exports from Bangladesh to India may face anti-dumping duty

Bangladeshi jute and jute goods may be subject to 25-30 % duty upon entry to the Indian market if the local exporters are found guilty of dumping.

The development comes after the Directorate General of Anti-Dumping and Allied Duties or DGAD under India's commerce ministry concluded its probe into the matter last week, said an official of Bangladesh Tariff Commission. The report is likely to be disclosed next week.

“I heard that a 25 percent to 30 percent anti-dumping duty was recommended in the report,” said a jute exporter who has been doing business with his Indian partners for many years now.

Hedayetullah Al Mamoon, senior secretary to the commerce ministry, said: “We are aware of the issue. We sent our official statement to the Indian authority last week.”

Negotiations will start with the Indian government once the official statement is received, he added.

Currently, Bangladeshi jute and jute goods enjoy zero-duty benefit on export to the Indian market under the South Asian Free Trade Area agreement.

Three years ago, the Indian Jute Mills Association had accused Bangladeshi exporters -- for the first time in 40 years -- of selling jute products at prices lower than those in India's domestic market.

Then in October last year, the Indian anti-dumping authority started its investigation into the matter.

从孟加拉出口到印度的黄麻可能面临反倾销税

孟加拉黄麻及黄麻产品进入印度市场可能要被征收25-30%的反倾销税，如果被当地出口商认定倾销。

事态发展是在此前反倾销和联合关税总局或印度商务部DGAD上周调查此事之后,孟加拉国关税委员会的一位官员说。该报告可能会在下周公布。

“我听说在报告中建议征收25%至30%的反倾销税,”一位曾和他的印度合作伙伴做了很多年生意的黄麻出口商说。

商务部高级秘书Hedayetullah Al Mamoon说:“我们正意识到这个问题。我们于上周向印度当局递交了我们的官方声明。”

一旦收到官方声明，与印度政府的谈判将开始,他补充说。

目前,根据南亚自由贸易区协议，孟加拉国黄麻及黄麻出口到印度市场上享受零关税。

三年前,印度黄麻工厂协会曾指责孟加拉出口商，40年来首次销售黄麻产品的价格低于在印度国内市场的价格。

之后在去年10月,印度反倾销当局开始调查此事。
