India and Saudi Arabia Impose New Anti-Dumping Trade Duties
India extended duties on four products and taxed metallurgical coke, while Saudi Arabia imposed levies on Indian cast iron pipes to combat cheap imports.
The Government of India and the government of Saudi Arabia both implemented anti-dumping measures in August 2026 to protect domestic industries from low-cost imports.
In July 2026, India extended anti-dumping duties on untreated fumed silica, arylides, seamless iron and steel tubes, and normal butanol, with durations ranging from early 2027 to a five-year extension. Acting on recommendations from the Directorate General of Trade Remedies, the Finance Ministry also imposed a new five-year duty on low ash metallurgical coke imported from Australia, China, Colombia, Indonesia, Japan, and Russia, with rates between USD 42.95 and USD 128.83 per tonne.
Simultaneously, the General Authority for Foreign Trade of Saudi Arabia targeted Indian exports. Effective August 4, 2026, Saudi Arabia imposed five-year anti-dumping duties on Indian ductile iron pipes and hollow tubes. These levies range from 16.96 percent to 29.94 percent of the cost, insurance, and freight value, with minimum price floors set between SAR 714 and SAR 1,260 per tonne.
