Group 1 - The Indian Ministry of Commerce has imposed anti-dumping duties on PVC suspension resin from China, the US, Japan, South Korea, and other regions, with a maximum tax of $284 per ton [1] - The tax rates for Chinese PVC are set between $122 and $232 per ton, which is an increase of $40 from the preliminary ruling, while the US rate has decreased by $32, indicating a double standard in the application of tariffs [3] - India relies on China for 42% of its PVC imports, and the new tariffs will force local companies to either pay higher prices or face production shortages, which could harm the domestic industry [3] Group 2 - The tax rates for South Korea range from $0 to $169 per ton, while Japan's rates are between $49 and $148 per ton, suggesting a targeted approach against Chinese companies [3] - The Indian construction and agriculture sectors are heavily dependent on PVC, and the imposition of tariffs will lead to increased costs for downstream industries, ultimately affecting Indian consumers [3] - The situation illustrates that trade wars do not yield winners, and aggressive tariff measures may backfire, jeopardizing local industries and employment [3]
