Anti Dumping Duty on DVD -Re-imposed after Expiry
THE notification No. 98/2010, dated 28.09.2010 which imposed anti dumping duty on "Recordable Digital Versatile Disc [DVD]" was to expire on 12th April 2015. This was extended till 11th April 2016 by Notification No.12/2015-Customs(ADD), dated the 11th April, 2015 and it really expired on 11th April 2016, but dumping continued. And so the government re-imposed the anti dumping duty with effect from 13.5.2016. While the action of the government in not going for an illegal retrospective amendment is laudable, who is responsible for the injury to the domestic industry and loss of revenue to the government?
By the way who is using DVD-R now; is the use substantial to warrant an anti dumping duty?
