Anti Dumping on Sodium Tripoly Phosphate - Resurrection Continues
WHILE the above Circular was being issued, on the same day another Section of the Board issued yet another notification bringing back to life a dead anti dumping notification.
Provisional anti dumping duty was imposed on Sodium Tripoly Phosphate originating in, or exported from, People's Republic of China, by Notification No. 96/2010-Cus dated 21.09.2010.
This Notification specifically mentioned that, “The anti-dumping duty imposed under this notification shall be effective upto and inclusive of the 20 th March 2011.
So this duty was not leviable with effect from 21.03.2011. But now the Government has come up with a new notification imposing definitive anti dumping duty on the product for a period of five years with effect from the date of imposition of provisional anti-dumping duty, that is, the 21st September 2010.
What is the position for the imports made from 21.03.2011 to 07.07.2011? According to the Board Circular above, no duty is leviable for this period or is the circular not applicable for provisional duty converted to definitive duty – even after expiry of the provisional duty?
Notification No. , Dated: July 7, 2011
