ANKARA (AA) – China Thursday said it will continue to levy duty on imports of optical fiber from India.

The country’s Ministry of Commerce said it continues to levy anti-dumping duties on imports of single-mode optical fibers from India, effective from Friday for another five years, China’s CGTN network reported.

The single-mode optical fibers are used for manufacturing telecommunications equipment.

The ministry said it found during a review of the imports that if the duty was lifted “the imports would hit the domestic market hard”. The tariffs will range between 7.4% and 30.6%.

The imported fibers are used in long-haul communications, metropolitan networks, cable television and fiber access networks.
