Vietnam’s Ministry of Industry and Trade says that the DGAD has determined that manufacturers and exporters from these countries have been selling their products in the Indian market at prices much lower than their normal value.

Accordingly, the anti-dumping levy for Vietnam stands at 64.09 percent or US$50.51 per 1000 units, while the corresponding figures for Malaysia and Thailand are 34.05 percent and 22.51 percent respectively.

The DGAG conducted an investigation into this in response to a lawsuit from the Indian Optical Disc Manufacturers Welfare Association.

In 2008 and 2009, Vietnam’s DVD-Rs and DVD-RWs accounted for 12.11 percent of the Indian DVD market.
