The Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) has initiated investigation into dumping allegations on imports of certain printed circuit boards (PCB) originating from China and Hong Kong.
The investigation was prompted after the Indian Printed Circuit Association had alleged that the PCBs being imported from these countries are causing serious damage to the domestic industry. It has also requested the imposition of anti-dumping duty on the import of the subject goods originating in or exported from the subject countries.
The notification stated: “The PCBs are mainly used to provide electrical connection and mechanical support to the electrical components of a circuit. A PCB is assembled with electronic components like transistors, resistors, capacitors etc. In the assembly process which happens at the customer’s end, a PCB is populated (or ‘stuffed’) with electronic components to form a functional printed circuit assembly (PCA) which is also called a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA),”
A printed circuit board or a PCB is a bare board which is supplied with layout data or artwork and used to mount components. Populated/stuffed PCBs are used in all kinds of electronic circuits, from simple transistor amplifiers to the biggest supercomputers. PCBAs are used in cars, telephones, ovens, toys, televisions, computers, lighting, solutions etc.
