Anti-dumping duty extended on Cold Rolled Flat products of Stainless steel
VIDE notification No. 38/2009-Customs, dated the 22nd April, 2009, the Central Government had imposed provisional anti-dumping duty in the matter of import of Cold Rolled Flat Products of Stainless Steel (heading 7219) originating in, or exported from the People's Republic of China (China PR), Korea, European Union, South Africa, Taiwan (Chinese Taipei), Japan, Thailand and United States of America (USA).
It was also mentioned in the notification that the anti-dumping imposed shall be effective upto and inclusive of the 21st day of October, 2009.
Consequent upon the final findings of the designated authority, definitive anti-dumping duty was imposed on the impugned goods vide notification 14/2010-Cus dated 20th February, 2010.
Paragraph 2 of the notification made it amply clear that the anti-dumping duty imposed under this notification shall be levied with effect from the date of imposition of the provisional anti-dumping duty.
This was actually to resurrect the earlier notification which died four months ago. See dated 23.02.2010.
This notification 14/2010-Cus also underwent minor amendment by notification 86/2011-Cus dated 6/09/2011 and a correction by corrigendum F.No.354/87/2009-TRU (Pt. 1) dated 7th February, 2012.
And this ADD notification 14/2010-Cus has been in the midst of some chaos because of the amending notification 86/2011-Cus. For more on that see & 2013-TIOL-1628-CESTAT-MUM.
Now, in the said notification, after Paragraph 2, the following is inserted:-
"3. Notwithstanding anything contained in Paragraph 2 above, this notification shall remain in force up to and inclusive of 21st April, 2015 unless revoked earlier."
Admittedly, this is a unique way to infuse life in a notification whose soul, otherwise, had left on 22nd April, 2014.
