Saudi Arabian Amiantit Co. said that the General Authority of Foreign Trade (GAFT) has imposed anti-dumping duties for five years on imports of ductile iron pipes and tubes originating in, or exported from, India, effective today, Aug. 4. 
In a statement to Tadawul today, Amiantit said the duties apply to hollow cast iron pipes and tubes (ductile iron pipes) classified under customs tariff code 730300000001, with diameters ranging from 100 mm to 1,000 mm. The products are used in water distribution, stormwater and wastewater networks, as well as irrigation and firefighting systems.
The anti-dumping duties were set at 16.96% of the cost, insurance and freight (CIF) value, subject to a minimum of SAR 714 per metric ton, on imports manufactured and exported by Electrosteel Castings Limited (ECL India), as well as products manufactured by ECL India and exported through Electrosteel Bahrain Trading WLL.
GAFT also imposed duties of 29.94% of the CIF value, with a minimum of SAR 1,260 per metric ton, on all other imports of Indian-origin products not covered by the first category. The measure also applies to products of Indian origin exported from any other country, as well as products exported from India regardless of origin.
Amiantit said its subsidiary, Saudi Arabian Ductile Iron Pipes Co. Ltd. (SADIP), accounts for around 85% of domestic production of these products, alongside another Saudi producer that is not publicly listed. The company expects the measure to bolster sales of these products in the coming periods.
According to Argaam data, GAFT accepted and initiated an anti-dumping investigation in July 2025 following a complaint filed by SADIP, jointly with another Saudi producer, against imports of ductile iron pipes from India. The complaint argued that low-priced imports had eroded the company’s market share and adversely affected its production capacity.
