Anti dumping duty on caustic soda - extended
For once the Government has amended a live anti dumping notification. The anti dumping duty on Sodium Hydroxide, commonly known as Caustic Soda originating in, or exported from, Iran, Saudi Arabia, United States of America, France and Japan, was imposed by notification No. 69/2001- CUSTOMS, dated the 26th June, 2001 with effect from 26. 12.2000 and would have lapsed after 25.12. 2000 and now the government has extended it till 25th of June, 2006. And this amendment has been issued a whole month before the notification lapsed. DDT had several occasions to point out the Government amending dead notifications and amending a notification a month before its due date of lapse is pretty good planning.
