Anti-dumping duty on Potassium Carbonate, originating in, or exported from, the European Union (EU), the People's Republic of China, Korea RP and Taiwan extended till June 9, 2009.
The Designated Authority had initiated a review on imposition of anti-dumping duty on Potassium Carbonate imported from EU, China, Korea and Taiwan by issuing a Notification on May 22, 20008 and pending such review, the Central Government has issued a Notification extending the anti-dumping duty on Potassium Carbonate by one more year , ie. upto June 9, 2009 (inclusive of this day).
Wondering how a Notification issued on 11th June 2008 for one year would expire on 9 th June 2009? Look at the wisdom of our babus in covering up their delays:
The original notification 37/2004 Cus dated 20-2-2004 expired on 9th June 2008 and the Notification extending the Anti Dumping duty should have been issued on 10th June 2008. But as the Notification extending the ADD was issued only on 11th June, they made it to expire on 9th June 2009, thereby indirectly imposing ADD on 10 th June 2008 the day on which there was no ADD as there was no Notification.
The correct position should be to issue the extending Notification on 10th June 2008 and make it expired on 9th June 2009.
NOTIFICATION NO , Dated: June 11, 2008
