RIYADH — The Saudi General Authority for Foreign Trade (GAFT) is conducting an anti-dumping hearing regarding imports from India to protect local industries from harmful, low-priced, or subsidized goods. Initiated last July, this investigation allows stakeholders to present views, following a similar move by India against other nations. The GAFT, through its Trade Remedies Deputyship, held a hearing with the cooperating parties in the anti-dumping investigation of ductile iron pipes and hollow tubes (100–1,000 mm in diameter) originating from or exported from India.The hearing session followed the announcement of initiating investigation last July. It is one of the stages under the Saudi Trade Remedies Law in International Trade, providing all participating parties the opportunity to present their views and arguments, review submissions and opinions from other parties, and discuss differing perspectives before the investigating body.This is the fifth investigation since the enactment of the Trade Remedies Law in International Trade, which aims to protect the local industry from injury caused by dumped or subsidized imports, prevent import surges, and safeguard the Kingdom’s exports subject to trade remedy measures.
