Introduction In compliance with the basic objectives of the Cooperation Council for the Arab States

of the Gulf, and in conformity with the objectives of the GCC Unified Economic Convention

seeking to achieve economic integration among GCC member states, and aware of the crucial

role played by GCC industries in the economies of the GCC member states, it becomes vital

for the member states to take necessary measures against dumping, subsidy and increase of

imports, which cause injury, threat of injury, or retardation to GCC industries.

Pursuant to Article 86 of the Rules of Implementation of the GCC Common Law on

Antidumping, Countervailing Measures and Safeguard Measures which states, "The

Technical Secretariat issues an Official Gazette where it publishes all publications required

under this Common Law and its Rules of Implementation". Hereby, GCC-Bureau of

Technical Secretariat for Anti Injurious Practices in International Trade pleased to publish

the Notice Volume No (27) of the Official Gazette of GCC- Bureau of Technical Secretariat

The Secretariat General of the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf (GCC)

GCC- Bureau of Technical Secretariat for Anti Injurious Practices in International Trade

The Imposition of Definitive Anti-Dumping Duties Against Imports of Ceramic Flags and Paving, Hearth, Floor, or Wall Tiles; Whether or Not on a Backing; Finishing

Ceramics (Ceramic and Porcelain Tiles). Originating in or exported from China and India

In conformity with the GCC Common Law on Anti-Dumping, Countervailing and Safeguard

Measures and its Rules of Implementation (Regulation), and upon the decision no.

(19/AD4/2018) of the Permanent Committee of Anti Injurious practices in the International

Trade (Permanent Committee), regarding accepting the complaint and approving the initiation

of the investigation against imports of Ceramic Flags and Paving, Hearth, Floor, or Wall Tiles;

Whether or Not on a Backing; Finishing Ceramics (Ceramic and Porcelain Tiles) - (Product

under investigation) - from China & India & Spain and based on the Permanent Committee's

decision No. (29/4AD/2020) proposing the imposition of definitive anti-dumping duties

against the GCC imports of the product under investigation from the concerned countries

except Spain pursuant to the provisions of Article (9) of the GCC common Law, and referring

to the Ministerial Committee’s approval on the Permanent Committee’s decision No.

(29/4AD/2020) pursuant to the provisions of Article (37) the Rules of Implementation, the

GCC Bureau of Technical Secretariat for Anti-injurious Practices in International Trade (GCC-

TSAIP) hereby announces the imposition of definitive anti-dumping duties against the GCC

imports of the product under investigation originating in or exported from the People’s

Republic of China and the Republic of India according to the following:


5

1. Product under investigation subject to the definitive duties

Ceramic flags and paving, hearth, floor, or wall tiles; whether or not on a backing; finishing

ceramics. The product under investigation is classified under the following GCC-Unified

Tariff Code from item: (6907), other than those of subheading (69073000), (Ceramic and

Porcelain tiles).

2. Duration of the definitive duties:

The definitive antidumping duties shall enter into force for a period not exceeding 5 years

starting from the date: 6th June 2020.

3. Form of the definitive duties:

The definitive anti-dumping duties shall take the form of ad valorem duties as percentages

of the CIF value according to the following table:

Country Exporters/Producers names Dumping margin as a percentage of the CIF value

People’s Republic of

China

- Guangdong Winto Ceramics Co., Ltd. - Honghai Ceramics Industrial Co., Ltd. 23.5%

Enping FENGZE Ceramics Co., Ltd, 58%

Jiangxi SUN Ceramics Co., Ltd 53%

Non sampling cooperating companies (Chinese Exporting Producers) (Attachment no. 1) 23.5%

Others 76%

Republic of India

Lexus Granito India. Ltd 70.2%

Sunshine Tiles Company Pvt. Ltd. 37%

Comet Granito Pvt. Ltd 17.6%

Non sampling cooperating companies (Indian Exporting Producers) (Attachment no. 2) 41.2%

Others 106%


6

4. The reasons leading to the imposition of the definitive duties:

4. 1 Determination of Dumping:

The investigation concluded that the imports of the product under investigation originating

in or exported from the concerned countries are being imported to the GCC market at

dumped prices.

4. 2 Determination of Material Injury and Causal link:

- There was a significant increase in the volume of dumped imports from China and

India, either in absolute terms or relative to the production, and an increase in the

market share of these dumped imports at the contrary of the market shares of the

GCC industry, Spanish imports, and other imports.

- It was found that there is a large impact of dumped imports from China and India

on the selling prices of the GCC industry, as it was found that there is a price

undercutting between the average selling price of the GCC product and the average

selling price of the product under investigation. Also, the GCC industry was not

able to increase the selling prices to cover the cost of production.

- It was found that there is material injury represented by the decrease in the volume

of production and sales of the GCC industry, and the economic and financial

indicators of the industry were negatively affected during the period of

investigation.

- It was found that no effect of imports from Spain was determined on the prices and

the economic situation of the GCC industry in general.

- It was found that the factors other than dumped imports from China and India did

not contribute to the material injury of the GCC industry.

- Therefore, it is definitively determined that there is sufficient evidence of the

existence of the causal link between the increase in dumped imports from China

and India of the product under investigation and the material injury to the GCC

industry.
