Trade Update: China Applies Anti-Dumping Measures to Indian Cypermethrin Exports

China's Ministry of Commerce has declared the imposition of anti-dumping duties on cypermethrin imports from India, effective from January 8, 2025. The action comes after a thorough investigation that established Indian exporters selling cypermethrin at below fair market value, resulting in serious injury to China's domestic industry.

 

Key Highlights:

Cypermethrin is a pyrethroid synthetic insecticide, essential for pest management in cotton, vegetables, corn, and flowers crops and also for use in sanitation. The new duties will be felt by Indian exports and may hit farmers' incomes in both countries because of the possible price change and supply chain disruption.

 

The investigation and responsibilities encompass cypermethrin technical and their preparations, falling under China's tariff number 29269090. Cypermethrin from India is the only product to come under this ruling.
