Kuwait imposes anti-dumping duties on Indian and Chinese sanitary ware imports
The Acting Director General of Customs, Fatima Al Qallaf, has issued new customs instructions imposing final anti-dumping duties on sanitary ware imports from India and China, with rates ranging between 21.4% and 83.4%.
These measures are outlined in Customs Instruction No. 25 of 2025 and apply specifically to sanitary ware products imported from Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries that originate from or are exported by the People’s Republic of China and the Republic of India, reports Al-Anba daily.
According to the directive, the anti-dumping duties will be applied in addition to existing customs taxes on items such as washbasins, bathtubs, bidets, toilet seats, flush tanks, urinals, and other similar fixed porcelain sanitary articles.
The duties, calculated based on dumping margins, will be imposed as increases to the current CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) customs duties. For Chinese companies, rates will range from 33.8% to 51%, while for Indian companies, they will range from 21.4% to 83.4%.
These anti-dumping duties will be enforced for a five-year period starting from July 8.
