The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs ( CBIC ) imposed anti-dumping duty on aluminium road wheels imported from China.
The designated authority, through notification number 7/13/2023-DGTR dated 30th September, 2023, published in the Gazette of India, Extraordinary, initiated a review under sub-section (5) of section 9A of the Customs Tariff Act, 1975, and rule 23 of the Customs Tariff (Identification, Assessment and Collection of Anti-dumping Duty on Dumped Articles and for Determination of Injury) Rules, 1995.
This review concerns the continuation of anti-dumping duty on imports of “Cast Aluminium Alloy Wheels or Alloy Road Wheels ( ARW ) used in Motor Vehicles, whether or not attached with their accessories, of a size in diameters ranging from 12 inches to 24 inches” ( subject goods ) falling under sub-heading 8708 70 of the First Schedule to the Customs Tariff Act, originating from China PR.
Subsequently, in its final findings published via notification number 7/13/2023-DGTR dated 6th January, 2024, the designated authority concluded that:
(i) The subject goods continue to be exported to India at prices below the normal value, resulting in dumping.
(ii) Dumped imports from the subject country are causing injury to the domestic industry.
(iii) There is a likelihood of continuation of dumping and consequent injury to the Indian industry if the existing anti-dumping duties are discontinued at this stage.
Based on these findings, the designated authority recommended the continued imposition of anti-dumping duty on imports of the subject goods to alleviate injury to the domestic industry.
Consequently, exercising powers conferred by sub-sections (1) and (5) of section 9A of the Customs Tariff Act, 1975, read with rules 18, 20, and 23 of the Customs Tariff (Identification, Assessment and Collection of Anti-dumping Duty on Dumped Articles and for Determination of Injury) Rules, 1995, and superseding the previous notification number 17/2019-Customs ( ADD ) dated 9th April, 2019, the Central Government hereby imposes an anti-dumping duty on the subject goods.
This duty is applicable to goods falling under specified sub-headings, originating from and exported by producers as specified in the corresponding entries of the Table, at rates indicated therein.
The anti-dumping duty prescribed in this notification will remain in effect for a period of five years, unless revoked, superseded, or amended earlier, starting from the date of publication in the Official Gazette. Payment of this duty shall be made in Indian currency.
