India imposes safeguard tax on antioxidant 6PPD

On June 6, India made a final ruling on safeguards for antioxidant 6PPD. India levies a two-year safeguard measure on the products involved. In the first year, it is 30% minus the anti-dumping duty, and the second year is 25% minus the anti-dumping tax. This measure does not include developing countries other than China. In this case, Jiangsu Sinorgchem Technology Co., Ltd., China PR responded.

At present, India is still imposing anti-dumping duties on anti-aging agent 6PPD originating in China and South Korea.

In December 2010, India placed an investigation on safeguard measures for 6PPD of antioxidants. At present, the countries (regions) that export 6PPD to India include South Korea, China, the United States, the European Union, Germany, the Czech Republic, Belgium, and Egypt.
