On September 27,2023,the Ministry of Commerce and Industry of India issued an announcement,officially making a final anti - dumping ruling on industrial laser machines originating in or imported from China.These industrial laser machines are mainly used for cutting,marking,and welding.According to the final ruling,it is recommended to impose an anti - dumping duty on these Chinese - made products involved for a period of 5 years,with the tax rate range being 0% to 135.98% CIF.

The products involved include laser cutting machines (LCM),laser marking machines (LMM),and laser welding machines (LWM).Their customs codes in India are 84561100,84569090,84622920,84798999,85152190,85158090,and 90132000 respectively.

It is worth noting that the background of this final anti - dumping ruling is that as early as September 29,2022,the Ministry of Commerce and Industry of India had issued an announcement,stating that at the request of the Indian domestic enterprise Sahajanand Laser Technology Limited,an anti - dumping investigation was launched on these Chinese - made industrial laser machines.Now,after a year of in - depth investigation,the Indian side has determined that these Chinese products are engaged in dumping behavior,and thus decided to impose high anti - dumping duties.

For Chinese export enterprises,this undoubtedly increases the cost of exporting to India and may affect future export strategies and market layouts.
