India`s Finance Ministry has imposed anti-dumping duty on linear alkyl benzene (LAB) imports from Iran. Qatar and China.
LAB is an important input in the detergent industry. Tamilnadu Petroproducts Ltd and Nirma Ltd had filed a petition seeking the imposition of anti-dumping duty on LAB imports from the three countries. Arab Oil and Gas reported Friday.
Apart from the petitioners. two more producers of LAB in India — Indian Oil Corporation and Reliance Industries Ltd — supported the petition. The anti-dumping duty ranges from $23.78 per ton to $300.22 per ton. depending on the producer and exporter from these countries.
