Anti Dumping Duty on Acrylic Fibre - Re imposed

ANTI Dumping Duty on Acrylic Fibre originating in, or exported from, Korea RP and Thailand was imposed by Notification No. 106/2002-Customs, dated the 9th October, 2002. This anti dumping duty was extended till 8th October, 2008 vide Notification No. 113/2007-Customs, dated 16th November, 2007.

8th October 2008 went by silently and the duty was not extended and Notification No. 106/2002 had a natural death.

The same duty was re imposed by Notification No. 123/2008-Cus dated 20th November, 2008. That means during the period, 9th October to 19th November, there was no anti dumping duty on this product.!

And the re-imposing notification expired on 19 th November 2013, but then they acted well within time and extended the validity till 19 th November 2014. This time they forgot to extend it.

Now they have re-imposed the duty for another five years, but thankfully no retrospective effect - Thank Board!

Notification No. , Dated: June 01, 2015
