CBIC Decides To Levy Anti-Dumping Duty On Synthetic Grade Zeolite 4A Imported From Thailand And Iran

The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) has decided to levy anti-dumping duty on synthetic-grade zeolite 4A imported from Thailand and Iran.

The Synthetic Grade Zeolite 4A falls under tariff items 2842 90 90, 2826 90 00, 2839 90 90 and 2842 10 00 of the First Schedule to the Customs Tariff Act, 1975 (51 of 1975) which originates in, or exported from the Iran and Thailand and imported into India.

The designated authority in its final findings concluded that the product had been exported to India at a price below normal value, thus resulting in dumping. The imports from Iran and Thailand have increased in absolute as well as relative terms throughout the injury investigation period. The landed value of imports of the goods from countries is much below the non-injurious price of the domestic industry indicating significant injury margin/price underselling, and has recommended imposition of anti-dumping duty on imports of the subject goods, originating in, or exported from the subject countries and imported into India, in order to remove injury to the domestic industry.

The anti-dumping duty imposed shall be levied for a period of five years (unless revoked, superseded or amended earlier) from the date of publication of this notification in the Official Gazette and shall be payable in Indian currency.

The customs authorities may verify the origin of subject goods in case imports are reported as originating in the United Arab Emirates.
