Indonesia (hereinafter referred to as the subject countries), imposed vide
notification of the Government of India in the Ministry of Finance (Department

No. 04/2009-Customs, dated the 6th January, 2009, published in the
Gazette of India, Part II, Section 3, Sub-section (i), vide number G.S.R. 14(E),

completion of the review;
And whereas the Central Government had extended the anti-dumping duty imposed on

notification
No. 07/2014-Customs (ADD), dated the 23rd January, 2014, published
in the Gazette of India, Part II, Section 3, Sub-section (i), vide number
G.S.R. 49(E), dated the 23rd January, 2014 up to and inclusive of 5th

And whereas the designated authority vide notification No. 15/24/2013-DGAD,
dated the 2nd July, 2015, published in Part I, Section 1 of the Gazette of
India, Extraordinary, dated the 2nd July 2015 has concluded that
- the subject goods have continued to enter the Indian market from China PR at
prices less than their normal values and the dumping margin is substantial and
above de minimis. However, there has been insignificant imports from Indonesia
though the dumping margin is positive and above de minimis;
- the domestic industry has suffered material injury due to the presence of
dumped imports from several countries, including the subject countries, during
the injury investigation period;
- the goods are likely to be exported from China PR at dumped prices in the
event of cessation of anti-dumping duty and dumping is likely to continue from
China PR. However, in view of insignificant imports during the injury
investigation period and in the absence of credible evidence supporting
likelihood of recurrence of dumping from Indonesia the DA concludes that there
is no imminent likelihood of recurrence of dumping from Indonesia; and
- injury to the domestic industry is likely to continue in the event of
cessation of anti-dumping duty on imports of subject goods from China PR because
of continuation of dumped imports from that country,
and has recommended continuation of anti-dumping duty on imports of subject
goods originating in, or exported from, China PR;
Now, therefore, in exercise of the powers conferred by sub-sections (1) and (5)
of section 9A of the Customs Tariff Act, 1975 (51 of 1975) read with rules 18
and 23 of the Customs Tariff (Identification, Assessment and Collection of
Anti-dumping Duty on Dumped Articles and for Determination of Injury) Rules,
1995, the Central Government after considering the aforesaid findings of the
