Anti Dumping Duty on Sewing Machine Needles - Resurrection - Again
YES, there is an anti dumping duty on sewing machine needles originating in, or exported from, People's Republic of China, imposed by Notification No. 50/2011-Customs, dated the 22nd June, 2011. This expired on 21st June 2016. Now, the government has extended it till 21st day of June, 2017.
This is patently illegal. Government cannot bring back to life a dead notification. The Government had stopped this reprehensive practice of retrospective validation. They are at it again.
Why do they show such contempt for Court orders and their own Finance Minister's solemn statements?
What is the message they are sending?
Notification No. , Dated: August 04, 2016
