On September 14, 2021, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry of India announced its final ruling of anti-circumvention investigation on the imports of axle for trailers originating in or exported from China, ruling that the subject goods from China were exported to India in CKD (complete knock down)/ SKD (semi-knock down) form and then assembled as axle for trailers to circumvent anti-dumping (AD) duties.

As a result, an AD duty rate of US$0.14-1.46/kg will be imposed on CKD and SKD axle for trailers originally produced in or imported from China.

The products involved are under HS code 87169010.
