Recent Developments

Recent Developments

June 19, 2025: In order to shield the domestic industry from unfairly low-priced imports, assist local manufacturers, and reduce import-related market pressures, the Indian government slapped five-year anti-dumping tariffs on imports of aluminum foil from China, Taiwan, and Russia.

Following a joint petition by several Indian foil producers, India's Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) opened a countervailing duty (CVD) investigation into subsidized Chinese aluminum foil (≤80 µm) on October 1, 2025, with the goal of determining whether duties are necessary to prevent harm to domestic manufacturers.
