India has exempted Japan from the anti-dumping duty imposed on chemical used in manufacturing of leather products, while confirming that the levy will remain on China, South Korea, Russia, Thailand, Malaysia and Taiwan. The imposition of duty, which is for a period of five years, is aimed at protecting the interest of domestic players from cheap inward shipments into the country. The duty ranges from $1,471 to $1,707 per million tonne of the Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC) Paste Resin. "The product had been exported to India from the subject countries (except Japan) below their associated normal values," the Department of Revenue said.
The dumped imports of PVC Paste Resin has caused a material injury to the domestic industry, it said. In June 2010, the Directorate General of Anti Dumping and Allied Duties (DGAD) had imposed a provisional duty on imports of these products from countries, including Japan. Now, the DGAD again reviewed the situation and concluded that the duty will be imposed for a period of five years (unless revoked, superseded or amended) with a retrospective effect from July 26, 2010. This would not be applicable for Japan.
