India: Dual Barriers of Anti-Dumping and Mandatory BIS Certification
India significantly tightened import regulations for PVC in 2024-2025, primarily through the coordinated implementation of anti-dumping duties and BIS certification, creating substantial barriers for Chinese PVC suppliers.
First, the Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) under India's Ministry of Commerce initiated an anti-dumping investigation on Suspension PVC (S-PVC) on March 26, 2024, targeting products from China, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and the USA. This was followed by the imposition of provisional anti-dumping duties on June 13, 2024, subsequently extended until 2029 on March 24, 2025. Duties range from a minimum of USD 25 per tonne to a maximum of USD 339 per tonne, varying by target country and producer. Concurrently, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) issued the "Quality Control Order (QCO) for Homopolymer PVC" on February 26, 2024, setting an enforcement date of June 24, 2025. This QCO mandates that all imported PVC must comply with the IS 17658:2021 standard and obtain BIS certification to enter the market. While approximately 14 overseas factories have been certified so far, the majority of Chinese manufacturers remain unlisted, effectively restricting their market access.
These combined policies create dual price and quality barriers. High anti-dumping duties inflate import costs, while the BIS certification system acts as a de facto technical barrier. Goods without certification face risks of rejection, fines, or customs clearance failure, severely diminishing the competitiveness of Chinese PVC in the Indian market.
