The Ministry of Commerce and Industry of India released on April 20,2018 the final ruling of the second end-of-term review of India’s anti-dumping suit against China’s viscose filament yarn industry.In this case,Zhang Yi,senior partner from Gaopeng&Partners trade team represented China Chamber of International Commerce(China Council for the Promotion of International Trade),China Chemical Fibers Association and the largest Chinese exporter in the industry(Xinxiang Chemical Fiber Co.Ltd)and carried out non-damage defense for the entire industry.Our firm won victory for the clients in the final trial through non-damage defense and successfully terminated the case.The complete victory of China’s viscose filament yarn industry has enabled our clients to retain and develop their most important export market worth of over CNY1 billion.

The Indian government started anti-dumping investigation of viscose filament yarn imported from China in 2005 and levied high anti-dumping duties in the past 13 years,during which the first trial and the first end-of-term review of the anti-dumping case were conducted,which severely impeded and reduced China’s viscose filament yarn export to India.Termination of the case not only utterly demolished the said 13-year trade barrier,but also provided a paradigm of thorough case-winning for China’s chemical fiber industry in response to international trade protection claims like anti-dumping.It is an impressively hard-earned result given the unfavorable circumstance where China’s export trade is overwhelmingly besieged by trade protection of other countries around the globe.
