Anti-dumping duty on Sun and/or Dust Control Polyester Film – re-imposed
Government had imposed Anti-dumping duty on Sun and/or Dust Control Polyester Film, originating in, or exported from United Arab Emirates and Chinese Taipei, vide Notification No. 101/2004-Cus., dated 29-9-2004, while the provisional anti dumping duty was imposed by Notification No. 133/2003-Customs, dated the 26th August, 2003. So the notification expired on 25 th August 2008. Government was sleeping for three days and woke up on 29 th August and extended the validity of the notification till 25 th August 2009 by Notification No. 100/2008-Cus., dated 29-8-2008.
The Notification again died on 25th August 2009. This time the government's slumber was exactly for a month and now they have re-imposed the anti dumping duty. But during the period, 26 th august 2009 to 24th August 2009, there was no dumping?
Now it is a proven fact that the Government cannot keep track of its dying notifications – But why should these notifications die?
