Regarding imposition of anti-dumping duty on import of Purified
Terephthalic Acid (PTA)
Circular
No. 21dated
25th March 1998
1. Instances cone to
the notice of the Board through the Commissioner of Customs, Mumbai and also a
study of the above mentioned subject by Directorate of Valuation, Mumbai that in
a number of cases of import of PTA originating from recognised trading houses in
Japan, claiming that the goods are manufactured by M/s. Kohap Chemical
Corporation but exported by some other Party are claming total exemption from
payment of anti-dumping duty.
2. The matter has
been examined in consultation with MOC. It is seen that notification No.
85/97-Customs specifies both country of origin and name of exporter for fixing a
rate of duty and only exempts PTA Manufactured in Korea and exported by M/s.
Kohap Chemical Corporation.
3. In all other
cases, even if the goods are manufactured M/s. Kohap Chemical Corporation, Korea
if the exporter is different from the above mentioned manufacture, the goods
(PTA) are leviable to anti-dumping duty at the higher rate of duty indicated in
the notification. Past clearances if any, contrary to the above decision, may be
reviewed and demand notices issued on priority basis.
