Definitive Anti-Dumping Duty on nylon filament yarn extended for imports from Malaysia

BASED on the recommendations of the Designated Authority's mid term review final findings, the Central Government has decided to extend anti-dumping duty on ‘nylon filament yarn', falling under Chapter 54 of the First Schedule to the Customs Tariff Act, 1975 and originating in or exported from Malaysia at the specified rates.

In this regard, Notification dated August 29, 2006 was amended to this effect to substitute S.Nos. 7 and 8 of the Table with S.Nos. 7, 7A, 8 and 8A.

Unfortunately, the notification does not specify the date upto which the ADD would be applicable and effective. In terms of Section 9A(5), after a review, the Central Government can extend the levy of ADD for a further period of five years whereas the original levy under Notification 85/2006-Cus would expire on August 28, 2011.

Notification No. , Dated: April 12, 2010
