Anti Dumping Duty on Sodium Hydrosulphite - Long Story of Resurrection, Death and Rebirth
PROVISIONAL anti dumping Duty was imposed on the import of Sodium Hydrosulphite originating in, or exported from the People's Republic of China by Notification No. 28/2001-Customs, dated: March 12, 2001. This Notification lapsed on 11.09.2001. But as far as the Board is concerned, notifications simply don't lapse; they can be resurrected.
By Notification No. 114/2001-Cus., dated 2-11-2001, the duty was again imposed, of course, with effect from the date of provisional imposition that is 12.03.2001. So, this would have expired on 11.3.2006.
By Notification No. 25/2006-Cus., dated 10-3-2006, this notification was extended till the 11th day of March, 2007.
By Notification No. 108/2006-Cus., dated 16-10-2006, the duty was re-imposed for another five years. (On Sunset Review)
By Notification No. 133/2009-Cus., dated 09-12-2009, the duty was re-imposed to be in force up to 15.10.2011. (On Mid-term review)So, this expired on 15.10.2011. But anti dumping notifications don't expire as notified; they have many rebirths.
By Notification No. 111/2011-Cus dated 20.12.2011, the Government extended the validity of the notification till 13th October 2012.
Now, they have re-imposed the anti dumping duty for another five years but with effect from 14.12.2012.
Was there no dumping between 14.10.2012 to 13.12.2012? Board alone knows!
