These duties will take effect for a period of five years, starting July 8, 2025.

The anti-dumping duties will create a fair and competitive environment in line with international trade regulations, which will positively impact SIDC’s overall performance, the statement said.

In August 2023, SIDC announced that a decision was issued by the GCC Standing Committee for Combating Harmful Practices in International Trade to initiate investigation procedures on the anti-dumping complaint filed against imports of sanitaryware from China and India.

In October 2024, the company announced issuing preliminary investigation findings by the Technical Secretariat’s Office in the anti-dumping case.
