The rate of duty on these products coming from Oman will be between $71.80 to $91.42 per ton. While imported from China, the rate on these products has been fixed at 23.46 to 47.62 dollars per ton.
Gypsum board/tiles with lamination on at least one side (also known as PVC gypsum tiles, gypsum ceiling tiles and ceilingtiles) are mainly used for ceilings in auditoriums, conference rooms, educational institutions, offices, boutiques, shops, residences etc. .
The government takes measures like anti-dumping duty to prevent damage to the domestic industry due to cheap imports.
