Import of Caustic soda - Midterm review initiated
ALKALI Manufacturers Association of India, New Delhi, an association of producers of Caustic Soda, has sought a midterm review of the anti-dumping duties in force on the imports of Caustic Soda originating in or exported from Iran in accordance with section 9A of the Customs Tariff Act 1975 read with Rule 23 of the Customs Tariff (Identification, Assessment and Collection of Anti-Dumping Duty on Dumped Articles and for Determination of Injury) Rules, 1995. They have inter alia claimed that the circumstances that were prevalent during the period of investigation of the original investigation have changed significantly leading to a situation where the existing anti-dumping duties against Iran need to be reviewed.
The Authority, given the changes in the cost and price structure and the resultant injury aspects in view, felt that it is appropriate to carry out a comprehensive review of the duty in force against all the countries on which the duties are in force i.e., Iran, Saudi Arabia and USA and accordingly issued Notification, initiating Midterm review. ministry of Law & Justice 25-January, 2016 17:50 IST
