The Finance Ministry has imposed definitive anti-dumping duty on Plain Medium Density Fibre Board (MDF) imports from Vietnam and Indonesia. Anti-dumping duty on Plain MDF Board — also known as Custom-wood or Craft-wood in market parlance — will be levied on boards having a thickness of 6mm or above and will be valid for a period of five years. The petition seeking an anti-dumping probe on MDF was jointly filed by Greenply Industries and Mangalam Timber Products. Rushil Decor Ltd, which accounts for 20 per cent of production, had supported the petition. MDF is widely used for partitions, modular furniture and cabinets due to its smooth and uniform finish. The product is produced in two-types — plain and laminated. The scope of the current petition did not include laminated MDF board.
