The Technical Secretariat for Combating Harmful Practices in International Trade at the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) announced the continuation of final anti-dumping duties on GCC imports of ceramic and porcelain tiles originating in or exported from the People’s Republic of China and Republic of India for an additional five years, effective from May 28, 2026. 
According to a circular issued by the authority, the investigation found continued dumping from China and India during the review investigation period. It also concluded that there was no indication or likelihood that producers and exporters in both countries would cease dumping practices related to the product under review in the future.
The Secretariat explained that, given the attractiveness of the GCC market and the substantial production capacity available in China and India, terminating the final anti-dumping duties would likely lead to a significant increase in imports from both countries at dumped prices, alongside a rise in their market share. This, in turn, would result in the continuation or recurrence of price undercutting, price suppression, or price depression affecting GCC industry selling prices.
It further noted that, should the final anti-dumping duties be removed, lower import prices from China and India in the GCC market would force GCC manufacturers to reduce selling prices further in order to maintain their market share. This would negatively impact their financial and economic position and lead to the continuation or recurrence of material injury.
Accordingly, the Secretariat concluded that material injury would likely continue or recur as a result of dumped imports originating in or exported from China and India if the final anti-dumping duties were terminated.
The final anti-dumping duties will be imposed based on the final dumping margins determined as a percentage of the CIF (cost, insurance and freight) value of imports, as follows:
Country
Foreign Producer/Exporter
Dumping Margin (% of CIF value)
China
Guangdong Winto Ceramics
