Definitive Anti Dumping Duty on DVDs – rare extension before expiry

WE have been requesting the Board to keep track of sunset notifications and we are extremely happy to report that in a rare case of waking up before sunset, the Board has imposed definitive anti dumping duty on Recordable Digital Versatile Disc [DVD] of all kinds originating in, or exported from Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam.

The Provisional ADD was imposed by Notification No. 48/2010 dated 12th April 2010 and is to expire on 11th October 2010. Now a fortnight before the expiry date, the government has imposed definitive ADD on the product for a period of five years from the date of imposition of the provisional anti-dumping duty, that is, the12th April, 2010.

This is how Government should work; whether the Anti Dumping Duty is definitive or not, the Law should be definite and clear.

Our Hearty Congratulations to the Board.

Notification No. , Dated : September 26, 2010
