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

Now the same duty is re imposed by a Notification dated 20th November, 2008. That means during the period, 9th October to 19th November, there was no anti dumping duty on this product. WHY?

Is it because there was no dumping or is it because some babu in Government forgot to act on time?

Notification No. , Dated: November 20, 2008
