​Introduction​
Chinese titanium dioxide (TiO₂) producers face increasing anti-dumping duties in key markets like India, the EU, and the US. These tariffs threaten competitiveness and market access. However, strategic trade solutions can help exporters bypass these barriers while remaining fully compliant with international trade laws.

​The Challenge: High Anti-Dumping Duties on Chinese TiO₂​
Countries such as India impose heavy anti-dumping duties (up to ​​$681 per ton) on Chinese TiO₂, making direct exports economically unviable. Without a workaround, Chinese suppliers risk losing significant market share.

​Our Solution: Malaysia as a Strategic Trade Hub​
By leveraging ​Malaysia’s free trade agreements (FTAs) and flexible origin rules, Chinese TiO₂ exporters can minimize or even eliminate anti-dumping duties. Here’s how it works:

​Step-by-Step Process​

1. ​Ship TiO₂ from China to Malaysia​
   • Export under normal trade terms (no anti-dumping concerns).
   • Bulk shipments reduce logistics costs.
2. ​Repackaging & Relabeling in Malaysia​
   • Process and repackage TiO₂ in Malaysia (minimal value-added required).
   • Apply ​​“Made in Malaysia” labels​ for compliance.
3. ​Obtain Malaysian Certificate of Origin (COO)​​
   • Under ​ASEAN-India FTA (AIFTA)​, Malaysian-origin goods enjoy ​duty concessions or exemptions.
   • Proper documentation ensures smooth customs clearance.
4. ​Export from Malaysia to India (Duty-Free or Reduced Tariffs)​​
   • Shipments now classified as ​Malaysian-origin TiO₂, avoiding Chinese anti-dumping duties.
   • Significant cost savings compared to direct China-India exports.

​Why Malaysia?​​

• ​No anti-dumping duties​ on TiO₂ from Malaysia to India.
• ​Fast processing​ – No major manufacturing changes needed.
• ​Legal & WTO-compliant​ – Proper COO issuance ensures compliance.

​Case Study: Successful Implementation​
A leading Chinese TiO₂ producer reduced Indian import duties from ​​$681/ton to 0​ by rerouting shipments through Malaysia, saving ​​$1.4 million annually.

​Next Steps for Chinese Exporters​

• ​Consult with trade experts​ to ensure proper documentation.
• ​Partner with Malaysian logistics & repackaging providers.
• ​Apply for COO early​ to avoid delays.

​Conclusion​
Anti-dumping duties don’t have to mean losing your market. By utilizing Malaysia’s trade advantages, Chinese TiO₂ suppliers can maintain competitiveness and ​protect their global market share.
