As India declined to lift the anti-dumping duty on Bangladeshi goods, the commerce ministry high-ups have asked one of its wings to start dispute settlement procedure in the World Trade Organisation. Back in January 2017, India slapped the anti-dumping duty on Bangladesh’s jute yarn, hessian and bags ranging between $19 and $352 per tonne. A similar duty ranging between $27.81 and $91.47 per tonne was also imposed on export of hydrogen peroxide to India from Bangladesh in April 2017. Bangladesh produces hydrogen peroxide, a chemical used in textile processing. After one year, India also put anti-dumping duty, $2.69 per kilogram, on fishing net exported from Bangladesh to its domestic market. Indian businesses alleged that Bangladesh was exporting those goods there at much lower prices than their production costs. The imposition of the anti-dumping duty dealt a heavy blow to exports of Bangladeshi goods to India. Exports of these items declined significantly since India slapped the anti-dumping duty and the downtrend was continuing. In the fiscal year 2018-19, exports of jute and jute goods dropped to $816.27 million from $1.085 billion in the previous fiscal.
