Anti-Dumping Investigation Cases

Directorate General of Anti-Dumping Duties & Allied Duties (DGAD) conducts anti-dumping investigations on the basis of a duly substantiated petition filed by the domestic industry with prima-facie evidence of dumping of goods into the country, injury to the domestic industry and causal link between the dumping and injury to the domestic industry. Such petitions submitted by domestic industry are processed as per the procedure and within the time limits specified under the Customs Tariff Act, 1975 and the rules made there under. DGAD conducts investigations and recommends imposition of duty, wherever appropriate, to the Department of Revenue (DoR) by issuing its preliminary/final findings. Acting upon such recommendations of the DGAD, the DoR may impose the provisional or definitive duties.

The major products found to have been dumped in all these years and in respect of which anti-dumping duty has been imposed fall in the product group of Chemicals & Petrochemicals, Pharmaceuticals, Products of Steel & other metals, Fibre & Yarns and Consumer Goods
