In the next two years, strengthen the exports in large markets with low Indian presence
Continue to maintain the strong position in top markets
Establish contacts with the prospective buyers to generate their interest in the Indian chemical products
Liaise with the Government of India on all procedural and policy matters relevant to the chemical export trade.
Liaise with import promotion and commercial agencies abroad for the benefit of chemical exporters
Technical barriers to trade (TBTs) are increasing day by day. To comply with these TBTs, provide member
organizations an able platform to voice concerns related to compliance with EU REACH etc.
To increase the penetration in these countries through effort-light means, adopt digital promotion/ e-engagement
techniques like webinars etc. to interact with counterparts
Facilitate short term training courses on International Marketing.
Relook at export strategy every two years to factor in changing global scenario.

NP is no preference.
During the year 2013, China has levied antidumping duty of 24.6% was on Pyridine (HS
code 29333100) for imports from India and Japan. Subsequently based on review
carried out by the Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM), Peoples Republic of China, the
duty was revised to 17.6% with effect from 05 February 2016 for India. Now a sunset
review is started by MOFCOM in Nov’18 on completion of 5 years of duty.
India’s Pyridine exports to China and the value of exports touched an all-time high of $
44.40 Mn in the Year 2013. Post Antidumping Duty imposition, our volumes reduced
significantly, resulting in adverse impact on our export earnings (Source:Trademap)
Our company fully cooperated with MOFCOM and submitted all details that were called
for review. However, our company felt hurt that the investigations suffered from some
serious lacunae. Chinese industry had misrepresented many facts to create a case of
anti-dumping where it never existed. Now a Sunset review (SSR) is under process and
results by are expected by Nov'19 , all documents are submitted to MOFCOM for sunset
review. Govt may takeup with relevant stakeholders to ensure the unjustified dumping
is removed.
China has levied anti-dumping and countervailing duty on Ortho Chloro Para Nitro
Aniline (OCPNA) originating from India. The duty Anti CVD + ADD imposed comes
to around 51%. The major manufacturer of the product OCPNA is M/s. Aarti
Industries Ltd. Their production capacity is around 5000 MTPA. The domestic Indian
market is around 2500 MTPA which is catered by them, rest is exported. They export
around 2000 MT to China where demand is around 5000MTPA. The Chinese
petitioner is a sole manufacturer.
A. Many chemicals, which are not included in the China “Inventory of Existing Chemical
Substances Produced or Imported in China (IECSC)”, are present in the national chemical
inventories of many countries. Chemical not listed in China IECSC inventory require
registration under Chinese Ministry of Envt. Protection (MEP) Order 7 prior to
manufacture/import. Many chemicals which China is importing since many years are not
listed in IECSC, now exporter going for such product registration shall face unnecessary
regulatory burden and loss of time.
B. After completing the new chemical substance (not listed in IECSC) notification, new
substances will be divided into three categories: General substance, Hazardous substance
and Environmentally priority management substance. General new substances will be added
onto IECSC 5 years since the date of the first commencement of manufacturing or
importation. However, the MEE has very slower speed for processing and working on that.
This needs to get speedier and China is not adding chemicals to the IECSC even after
completion of five years. This is again an extra regulatory layer for exporter.
Exports of Ethylene Glycol Mono Ethyl Ether and Di-Ethylene Glycol Mono Ethyl Ether (HS
No.29094400)
The export volume of India Glycols Ltd to China stands substantially reduced as the local
prices in China are very low. Ethylene Oxide which is the main feedstock for these
products is priced very low in China (nearly US$ 200 lower than other markets).
Most companies use EO made from petro-route. Today crude is priced low so EO price is
also low. India Glycols Ltd produces EO from renewable agro-feedstock i.e ethanol, so
end product price is high and difficult to compete with local China prices. Also
competition products like Butyl Glycols and PM are priced low.
Further, the China government has imposed stringent inspection and control on import
of Haz Chemical products in China.
INDONESIA
i. Duty- disadvantage Indian DYES exports to Indonesia vis.a.vis China
India has FTA with ASEAN nations, but the concessions are only limited. Whereas
supplies from China to these ASEAN nations is against NIL duty which impacts
competitiveness. For instance, we draw your attention to below HS Codes
pertaining to Dyes and Dye Intermediates where our export items (under
Chemexcil’s purview) are attracting concessional tariff of up-to 4.0% under AIFTA,
but the same item when exported by Chinese supplier to Indonesia is allowed
at Zero duty. Due to this duty differential, there is lack of level playing field which
adversely impacts competitiveness of our exporters.

Since the ASEAN FTA came in force in 2010, import duty of most of the oleochemicals got
reduced and became NIL in 2014 while all the raw materials used to manufacture these
oleochemicals were kept out of purview of the FTA and hence its import duties remained
very high. Hence , primary anomaly of ASEAN FTA exemptions is the Inverted Duty
structure wherein the raw materials [viz., Fatty Acids, Oils and its derivatives) are leviable to
Customs Duty while the finished goods (viz., the Fatty Alcohol, Soap Noodles, etc ) are
allowed without any Customs duty i.e., NIL rated. This has resulted in a surge of imports of
Fatty alcohols as well as other oleochemicals like soap noodles from these ASEAN
countries and the domestic Oleochemical industries have since been facing significant
challenges and incurring huge losses.
The ASEAN countries further inflicted injury by imposing Export Tax on export of raw
materials viz., Crude Fatty Acids, Oils and its derivatives but not imposed any such Export
Tax on Finished goods export viz. Fatty Alcohol, Distilled Fatty Acids, Soap Noodles, etc.
The ASEAN countries thus subverted Free Trade Agreement ( FTA ) wherein these
countries got duty free access to the large Indian market for their Finished products viz.
Fatty Alcohols and other finished products while they taxed raw material exports viz. Oils
and Crude Fatty Acids and thereby discouraged manufacturing value added products
outside their own countries. This lead to a double impact for Indian domestic
manufacturers of Fatty Alcohol, since the raw materials suffered export duty in the
exporting country and also import duty in India, whereas the finished product viz. Fatty
Alcohol neither suffered export duty in the origin country nor suffered any import duty in
India. The Indian Oleochemical Industry had been continuously representing to the
Government for removing this anomaly - to impose customs duty on Fatty Alcohol
imports from ASEAN countries and for granting customs duty exemptions to the raw
materials viz., Oils and its derivatives (such as PFAD/PKFAD/ Palm Stearin/Fatty acids)
when it is imported for manufacture of Oleochemicals.
In order to give some relief and to help to reduce the inverted duty structure, the Govt to a
certain extent, accepted the representation and in July 2014, granted Customs duty
exemption to the imports of the Fatty Acids, Oils and its derivatives with a condition of end
use for manufacture in Oleochemicals (please refer notification 12/2014-Cus dated 11th
July 2014). Likewise the duty on Palm Stearin also fully exempted with the same condition in
May 2017 (please refer notification 18/2017-Cus dated 09th May 2017.
It is pertinent to note that there is NO import substitution possibility for the raw materials
required for manufacture of fatty alcohol. It was only against this backdrop that the Govt. of
India in all its wisdom had provided Duty exemption for the imports of these Inputs against
"Actual User condition" all these years since July 2014.
In the recent Union Budget 2019, the Government has withdrawn the Customs Duty
exemptions for the import of raw materials viz., Fatty Acids, Oils and its derivatives (please
refer notification 25/2019-Customs dated 6th July 2019 amending Notification No. 50/2017
dated 30.06.2017) while continuing to allow Customs Duty exemptions under the ASEAN
FTA on all oleochemicals such as Fatty Alcohols/soap noodles etc for imports from ASEAN
countries. Imports statistics available with the Govt. can be analysed to see that there has
been a substantial growth in imports oleochemicals, for eg. Fatty alcohol imports has grown
from around 45000 Mt in 2015-16 to more than 77000 MT in 2018-19 while the total Indian
Fatty Alcohol market is estimated to be about 100,000 MT.
Government's decision to withdraw these Customs Duty exemptions is the final nail in the
coffin on the domestic oleochemicals (mainly Fatty Alcohols) manufacturers and has
resulted in to the Inverted Duty structure - since the raw materials viz. Oils and Fatty Acids
incur the Customs duty on imports while Fatty Alcohols from ASEAN countries come in at
NIL duty. It is pertinent to mention here that entire import of Fatty Alcohols and other
oleochemicals is only coming from the ASEAN countries under FTA duties. This has totally
defeated our efforts of Make in India of these value added oleochemicals products.
India has FTA with ASEAN nations, but there are limited concessions on the below
mentioned items:
The below table shows the duties on some of the products in a few
prominent ASEAN countries.

2. LAC
BRAZIL
Ethanol Based chemical industry in India who is already facing feedstock crisis will be
benefitted by free access of exporting value added compounds going as Vitamins,
Personal care, coating etc. While Brazilian ethanol will get free market access to Indian
chemicals & gasoline blending. Worth mentioning here is that India is fourth largest
gasoline consumer of world with highest growth of Car sales.
There is great potential for Agrochemicals in LAC and Brazil is the major market for
these products. However, the procedure for registration of Agrochemicals takes
very long time besides huge documentary requirements which impacts our exports
and needs to taken up for some remedial measures.
Exporter has been exporting different grades of Fatty Alcohols to Brazil falling
under ITS (HS) Chapter 29 & 38, the prominent grade being Ceto Stearyl Alcohol
Hs code 38237090). The NCM Code for this grade in Brazil is 38237010. Given
this huge potential, exporter invested in a supply chain model that would offer the
product on a ‘Just-in-time’ basis. The effective steps taken by exporter to strengthen
the supply chain resulted in getting over 50% market share of the above products.
However in September 2009, Brazil increased the import duty for Ceto Stearyl
Alcohol (38237090) sharply from 2% to 14%. This sharp increase disturbed exports
from India and we were forced to absorb a large part of this duty to ensure that we
maintain a presence in the Brazilian market. However we could not sustain this for too
long and it resulted a huge de-growth.
The table below shows the volumes of exports before and after the increase in the
import duty.
The above table shows that since the import duty was increased from 2% to 14% there
has been a steady fall in exports. From a volume of over 11000 mt per year of Ceto-
Stearyl Alcohol in 2007-2008, the volumes have reduced to a mere 2800 mt in 2017-
2018, a drop of 75%. There is urgent need to correct the increase in the import duty of
Ceto-Stearyl Alcohol, else it would be difficult to regain the lost market and huge market
with a promising potential would be lost forever.
It must be noted that this increase in the import duty coincided with the setting
up of a manufacturing unit by a large local company in Brazil producing Ceto
Stearyl Alcohol among other products. This is a clear case of a Trade Barrier where
exporters have to face a 14% import duty while the local manufacturer has free access
to the markets in Brazil.
It is requested to push for removal of such trade barriers eliminated and to ensure that
such high import duties are not slapped on the other Fatty Alcohols falling under the
chapters 29 and 38.
We understand from the exporter that they have experienced issues while
sending Samples of Essential oils etc to their important Buyers in Brazil. The details
about the Problems are given as Below :
As a result of lot efforts, 50% Shipment of Samples are being released and
delivered to Buyers in Brazil and the remaining 50% undelivered are destroyed.
We request you to kindly take up this matter to sort out the above problem for
development of export business.

While an excellent market for Indian chemical products, Latin American chemical sector
has several challenges to importers, including:
Language issue
Long Distance – Any shipment takes 45- 60 days.
The profit margins are thin to absorb warehousing charges
Import taxes and duties: LAC’s costly and complex cascading tax system and import
duties can be challenging for some Indian chemical companies. However, Most of Latin
American countries chemical importers and customers trust in the quality of Indian
chemicals and, in some cases, may opt to pay more for Indian products. Suppliers in
other countries like USA, China, Germany, France and UK are the strongest competitors
for Indian exporters.
REACH Issue in EU
Though w.e.f. GSP is re-instated for many of the chemical items w.e.f 1st January 2017,
but organic and inorganic chemicals are excluded. It is requested to Push for inclusion
of organic/ inorganic chemicals in re-instated GSP benefit which will provide better
market access.

Market Access Issues/ NTB’s: Certain biological Biological products (Dehydrated Culture
Media HS Code. 38210000 & 38220000, Peptone & Tryptone HS Code- 35040010) are
difficult to export to Australia as they are not allowed. Unfortunately Indian origin products
with animal source are not allowed to be exported there. These products are mainly used in
the field of Industrial Microbiology, Clinical microbiology etc . Although exporters
have necessary supporting documents/ testing reports and international Quality
management & food safety systems are already in place & strictly followed too. But the
restrictions are a deterrent.
Customs Tariffs: Applicable on Indian exports of many items is still 5% (Dyes, Basic
chemicals, Cosmetics etc). Nil/ lower duties will boost exports from India.
o Australia does not manufacture these chemicals and as such a big scope for
imports from India exists.
o To fight competition from China and Korea – freight is low from these
countries due to their proximity – duty concessions are required.

7. WANA
Our member M/s. Scientific Fertilisers Ltd have sent representation regarding
restriction on import of chemicals and pesticides into Yemen which go into agriculture
sector. We understand that an intimation of not allowing import of any chemicals
fertilizer/pesticides for agriculture use has been issued.
Kindly note that Yemen is a major agriculture economy and in spite of the current
situation, still agriculture is going on and there is market in Yemen to buy Indian
products. However, no shipping line is coming forward to accept the cargo in view
of the notification from Yemen which will adversely impact exports (Intimation
enclosed)
The issues related to Egypt are highlighted earlier to FT-AFRICA on 20/05/2019 for
resolution (copy enclosed). For the sake of convenience, the same are highlighted as
follows:
Besides, the legalisation cost, the time taken is also a hindrance and can go up-to 7
days, as before legalisation by the Embassy, the documents are first attested by local
municipal office. Since the shipping time to Egyptian Ports is around 15
days, exporters are hard-pressed to deliver the documents to their Egyptian
Consignee before ship reaches Egyptian port.
The above issues are ones reported by the members and similar problems could have been
faced by other exporters in other WANA countries as well.
Countries like Syria, Sudan etc face issues related to OFAC such as payments, reluctance of
ECGC to cover risk. Exporters have also reported difficulty in closure of eBRC’s in such
shipments leading to caution listing.

Mandatory SGS inspection even for small orders: This country stipulates that all
consignments be inspected by SGS International before these are shipped. This is OK
for large/ FCL orders, but they also this apply this condition even to the smallest
trial consignments valued at USD 200-300. This is not only cumbersome but also
adds to the cost of goods. (mail from member enclosed)
We had taken up the case with Indian Embassy in Nairobi and Asst. High
Commission, Mombasa. They probably tried their best, but it was not
enough. Another problem with this scam is that eventual consignee is not in
Kenya but other country (Uganda), but the goods are in Kenya which creates
confusion on actual culprit and line of action. Here we would like to share that
are few ongoing Bank fraud cases in Uganda which were reported to the High
Commission. Ultimately one of the exporter has taken legal recourse, but matter is
unresolved.
Import duties in Nigeria for some of oleo-chem products are extremely high.
With no trade pact in place this is a high cost which deters trade.
Form M:
Availability of USD:
In recent times there is a crunch of availability of USD in Nigeria for international
trade. This has a negative impact on trade, though there is a potential for export.
There have been instances where business is lost in the absence of US Dollars.
This also impacts trade against Letter of Credit since banks do not open L/Cs due
to this shortage.
There is a congestion in the port in Nigeria. This affects clearance and increases
costs due to port charges. The shipping lines too factor this in their freight due to
which the ocean freight is also higher.
Usual Freight Charges from Mundra, India to Apapa Port, Nigeria is 1100USD to
1300USD/20Ft and 2100USD to 2300USD/40 Ft, however the current Freight
Charges are ranges from 2300USD to 2500USD/20Ft and 3300USD to
3500USD/40Ft due to port congestion. Further, demurrage is pre calculated and
collected from supplier which ranges around 700USD/20Ft and 900USD/40Ft.
Due to high freight and demurrage charges we are not able to provide our
products at competent price.
One of our member who is exporting food flavours and ingredients, perfumery
compounds for soaps and toiletries has reported that the guidelines by TFDA
(Tanzania FDA) for import of food products, ingredients are very vague and
their importers find it difficult to comply with these. Also there is too much
information sought on the label used for food ingredients Like flavours,
concentrates et. The authorities expect each flavour (exporter has more than 5000)
to be registered. This not only involves lot of paper work But also tremendous cost
which can make products uncompetitive (mail from member enclosed).
Tanzania is the only country where with each commercial shipment, exporters
are expected to send a fresh set of samples which are submitted to the government
authorities for “Radiation” tests which is a hassle (mail from member enclosed).
In the past the council has received few complaints of B/L fraud involving
buyers in Uganda. Also there was case of exporter getting stuck in Mombasa Port
as Uganda buyer wanted delivery in Mombasa, Kenya and became victim of scam as
explained in Kenya issues. These cases were reported to the High
Commission. Ultimately one of the exporter had taken legal recourse which is very
expensive.
Our Request/ Suggestions:
The above issues are ones reported by the members and similar problems could have
been faced by us in other African markets as well.
Moreover, the visa process can also be expedited for an important market like
South Africa. For instance, India offers visa on arrival to South Africans, but for
getting South African business visa it takes minimum 5 to 7 working days in addition
to lot of documents. Similar issues are faced in other African markets also.
