What Happened to Anti Dumping Duty on steel and fibre glass tapes?

THE anti dumping duty on steel and fibre glass tapes and their parts and components, originating in or exported from the People's Republic of China, was extended till 14.05.2015, by Notification No. 29/2014 -Cus(ADD), dated 04.07.2014.

This duty was first imposed by Notification No. 147/2003 with effect from 04.04.2003 and expired on 4.4.2008. It was resurrected by Notification No. 50/2008 -Cus dated 21.4.2008 - till 03.10.2008. It was again extended till 03.04.2009, by Notification No. 104/2008-Cus dated 10.09.2208.

On 03.04.2009, they again forgot to extend it and woke up after more than a month and issued a new Notification No. 49/2009-Cus dated 15.05.2009. This notification expired on May 15 2014. They resurrected it by Notification No. 29/2014, dated 04.07.2014, by which it was extended till 14th day of May, 2015.

It is a week since 14 th May 2015 and there is no sign of any further extension. Can we assume that the notification is dead or will they resurrect it?
