Definitive Anti dumping Duty on Cathode Ray Colour Television Picture Tubes – yet another resurrection!

PROVISIONAL anti dumping duty was imposed on Cathode Ray Colour Television Picture Tubes falling under sub-heading 8540 11, originating in or exported from, Indonesia, by Notification No. , dated 27-3-2009.

This Notification actually died on 26.09.2009. Now they have resurrected it with retrospective effect from the original date of provisional imposition that is 27.3.2009. What happened during the period 27.9.2009 to 8.12.2009?

Incidentally the Designated Authority had recommended imposition of definitive anti dumping duty in its notification dated 10.09.2009 and the CBEC had sixteen days to issue the notification before its death. But the fact that nothing happens to them if a notification is not revalidated on time and they can always resurrect dead notifications, makes them lazy. Can't they just keep a list of sunset notifications and have an alarm bell? Is it impossibly difficult?

NOTIFICATION NO. , Dated: December 9, 2009
