Anti Dumping Duty on Rubber Chemicals - Resurrection Prospective?
THE Anti Dumping Duty on certain Rubber Chemicals, namely (MBTS) Dibenzothiazole disulphide, falling under Chapters 29 and 38, originating in, or exported from, People's Republic of China, was imposed by Notification No. 87 /2005-Customs, dated 27th September, 2005, which would have expired on 26th September 2010. After its death, it was extended till 25th July 2011 by Notification No. 28/2011-Cus dated 4th March 2011. So, it died a second time on 4th March 2011.
Now the Government has imposed the Anti Dumping Duty again for a period of five years from 20th October 2011.
Does it mean that there was no dumping and injury between 4th March and 19th October of 2011? Who will bear the responsibility for the injury to the domestic industry and loss of revenue to the Government during this period? Babus are entitled to sleep and allowed to wake up any time and prove their presence!
Notification No. , Dated: October 20, 2011
