Safeguard Duty on soda Ash
The Director General (Safeguard), had come to the conclusion that increased imports of Soda Ash into India from the People's Republic of China had caused and threatened to cause market disruption to domestic industry of Soda Ash and it necessitates the imposition of provisional safeguard duty on imports of Soda Ash into India from People's Republic of China.
So the Government has imposed a safeguard duty, at the rate of 20 per cent. ad valorem on import of Soda Ash, falling under sub-heading 2836 20 of the First Schedule, when imported into India from the People's Republic of China.
The safeguard duty imposed under this notification shall be effective up to and inclusive of the 5th November, 2009 unless revoked, superseded or amended earlier.
