Saudi Arabia launches anti-dumping probe into Indian ductile iron pipe imports
The Saudi General Authority of Foreign Trade (GAFT) has launched an anti-dumping investigation into imports of ductile iron pipes originating from or exported by India. The probe covers cast iron pipes and hollow tubes with diameters ranging from 100mm to 1,000mm, specifically of the K9 and C40 classes.
This action is in line with Article 4.1 of the Law of Trade Remedies in International Trade, issued on November 23, 2022. According to the article, 'the authority is responsible for trade remedies including conducting investigations, reviews, and the imposition of measures in accordance with the Kingdom's international commitments, especially under the Anti-Dumping Agreement, the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures, and the Agreement on Safeguards.'

Jordan: Oil bill falls 1.9% in 5 months
AMMAN — The Department of Statistics' (DoS) foreign trade data showed a decline in Jordan's imports of crude oil and its derivatives during the first five months of this year by 1.9 percent. The value of the Kingdom's imports of crude oil and its derivatives until the end of May this year amounted to JD1.121 billion, compared with JD1.143 billion for the same period last year, according to the statistical data monitored on Tuesday by the Jordan News Agency, Petra. This indicates a decrease of JD22 million. The decline in the Kingdom's oil bill at the end of May this year contributed to limiting the direct increase in the value of the Kingdom's imports, as oil still ranks first in the list of imports of the Kingdom. Fuel and mineral oils accounted for the largest share of the Kingdom's list of oil derivatives imports until the end of last May, with a value of JD414 million, followed by crude oil "Petrol" by JD333 million. While the imports of oil spirits "gasoline" amounted to about JD161 million, diesel "Solar" by about JD193 million, in addition to lubricants with a value of JD16 million and kerosene with about JD4 million, Petra reported. © Copyright The Jordan Times.
