Anti Dumping Duty on Barium Carbonate - Yet another Resurrection
THE Government had imposed provisional anti dumping duty on Barium Carbonate originating in, or exported from, People's Republic of China, vide Notification No. 37/2010-Customs, dated the 23rd March, 2010. This Notification very clearly stated that the anti dumping duty imposed under this notification shall be effective up to and inclusive of the 22nd day of September 2010.
Now the Government has imposed definitive anti dumping duty on this product for a period of five years from date of imposition of the provisional antidumping duty, that is, the 23rd March, 2010. For nearly five months, there was no anti dumping duty on this product and now the government has imposed it with retrospective effect.
If somebody in the Board sleeps, the importer suffers.
