Anti-Dumping Duty on rubber chemical PX-13 (6PPD) continued - Yet another resurrection
THE designated authority had initiated review in the matter of continuation of anti-dumping duty on rubber chemical, namely, PX-13 (6PPD), falling within Chapter 29 or 38 of the First Schedule to the Customs Tariff Act, 1975 (51 of 1975), originating in, or exported from, Korea RP, imposed vide notification No. 92/2011 -Customs, dated the 20th September, 2011 and had requested for extension of anti-dumping duty up to one more year.
So, the Central Government in exercise of the powers conferred by sub-sections (1) and (5) of section 9A of the said Customs Tariff Act and in pursuance of rule 23 of the said rules, makes the following amendment in the captioned notification inasmuch as: -
In the said notification, in paragraph 2, for the words and figures "4th May, 2013”, the words and figures "4th May, 2014" shall be substituted.
This notification also lapsed on 5th May 2013. In fact the notification specifically mentioned, "The anti-dumping duty imposed under this notification shall be effective from the date of publication of this notification in the Official Gazette and up to and inclusive of 4th May, 2013 and will be paid in Indian currency."
And now they say it is valid till May 2014. What is the position of imports made in June 2013? Were the importers and Customs officers expected to dream that the Government would extend the anti dumping duty retrospectively?
Notification no. , Dated: July 5, 2013
