India Imposes Five-Year "Sanctions" on Chinese Titanium Dioxide

2025/05/23

It is reported that on May 10, 2025, the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) under India's Ministry of Finance issued Notification No. 12/2025-Customs (ADD), accepting the affirmative final anti-dumping recommendations made by the Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) on February 12, 2025, regarding titanium dioxide originating in or imported from China. The decision imposes anti-dumping duties ranging from USD 460 to 681 per metric ton on the subject goods, effective for five years. The products involved fall under Indian Customs tariff items 28230010, 32061110, and 32061190. The measures take effect from the date of publication in the Official Gazette. Products exempted from these anti-dumping measures are listed in the annex.

While India's imposition of anti-dumping duties may superficially appear to disrupt China's titanium dioxide exports to the country, there is little cause for concern. Firstly, India's domestic titanium dioxide production capacity is insufficient to meet local demand, leaving China as the most viable supplier. Secondly, even with the duties in place, Chinese titanium dioxide retains a competitive price advantage over producers from other countries. Thirdly, this move may accelerate the development of China's downstream value-added processed products in the titanium dioxide industry. Lastly, the real impact will be felt by end-users in India, who will face higher costs, the actual predicament lies with India itself.
