The Government of India has issued a notification providing for the continued imposition of anti-dumping duty on imports of “Aniline” originating in or exported from the People’s Republic of China (China PR).
1. Objective of the Duty
The continuation of the anti-dumping duty is aimed at preventing injury to the domestic industry caused by unfair pricing and dumping of Aniline into the Indian market by Chinese exporters.
2. Duration of Imposition
As per the notification, the anti-dumping duty shall remain in force for five years from the date of its imposition, unless revoked, superseded, or amended earlier.
3. Background
