Notification No. 31/2025- Customs (ADD), Dated 07-11-2025
1. Background
The Ministry of Finance has issued a notification imposing anti-dumping duty on imports of Flax or Linen Fabric containing more than 50% flax (classified under tariff heading 5309) originating in or exported from China PR and Hong Kong.
This move follows the final findings of the designated authority, which concluded that:

- Such dumping caused material injury to the domestic industry.
2. Supersession of Earlier Notification

3. Duration of Duty
- The anti-dumping duty will remain in force for five years from the date of publication in the Official Gazette.
- It may be revoked, superseded, or amended earlier by a subsequent notification.
