Anti Dumping Duty - Resurrection
PROVISIONAL anti dumping duty was imposed on ‘Electrical Insulators of Glass or Ceramics/Porcelain, whether assembled or unassembled' originating in, or exported from the People's Republic of China by Notification No. 40/2014-Customs (ADD) dated 16.09.2014. This expired on 16.03.2015 and the designated authority had on 4th March 2015 recommended imposition of definitive anti-dumping duty - it took the Board more than a month to get the notification ready. Now the Government says the newly imposed anti dumping duty is effective from the date of imposition of provisional anti-dumping duty, that is, the 16th September, 2014.
How long will they continue with this resurrection and retro taxation? And they worked on a Saturday to bring back to life a dead notification.
