Anti-Dumping Duty on Faced Glass Wool Imports From China Extended

Notification No. 34/2025 – Customs (Add), Dated 15-12-2025

1. Regulatory Background

The Central Government has issued a notification amending Notification No. 14/2021-Customs (ADD), dated 18-03-2021, which imposes anti-dumping duty (ADD) on imports of ‘Faced Glass Wool in Rolls’.

The product falls under Customs Tariff Heading (CTH) 7019 and originates in or is exported from the People’s Republic of China.

2. Amendment to the Anti-Dumping Duty Notification

The amendment inserts a specific clarification on the duration of the levy, stating that:

Notwithstanding paragraph 2 of the principal notification, the anti-dumping duty imposed on the subject goods shall remain in force up to and inclusive of 17-06-2026, unless revoked, superseded, or amended earlier.

This ensures continuity of the anti-dumping measure beyond the earlier operative period.

3. Scope of Applicability

The continued levy applies to:

• Product – Faced Glass Wool in Rolls
• Tariff Classification – CTH 7019
• Country of Origin/Export – People’s Republic of China

The duty remains applicable at the rates specified in the principal notification, without any change in quantum.

4. Practical Implications for Importers

From a compliance and cost perspective:

• Importers must continue to pay anti-dumping duty on all eligible imports of the subject goods from China
• The duty applies to all Bills of Entry filed up to and including 17-06-2026, unless modified earlier
• Pricing, costing, and supply contracts should account for the extended duty period
• Customs declarations must correctly reflect product description, classification, and country of origin

Failure to apply the ADD may result in short-levy demands, interest, penalties, or reassessment by Customs authorities.

5. Regulatory Intent

The extension reflects the Government’s intent to:

• Protect the domestic glass wool industry from injury caused by dumped imports
• Maintain trade-remedial continuity pending any further review or sunset examination
• Ensure predictability and stability in trade defence measures

6. Key Takeaway

The anti-dumping duty on Faced Glass Wool in Rolls (CTH 7019) imported from China will continue uninterrupted until 17 June 2026, unless withdrawn or modified earlier. Importers should plan imports and compliance accordingly.
