The Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) is scheduled to hold oral hearing of anti-dumping investigation on imports of pentaerythritol used in cosmetics from China, Saudi Arabia, and Taiwan, on September 22, 2023 from 2.30 pm to 4:30 pm. The hearing will be done in hybrid mode i.e., both through Digital Video Conferencing (DVC) and physically in the DGTR office in New Delhi.
The investigation was initiated on May 12, 2023 under the Customs Tariff (Identification, Assessment and Collection of Anti-dumping duty on Dumped Articles and for Determination of Injury) Rules, 1995 (AD Rules).
Kanoria Chemicals & Industries Limited had filed an application before the DGTR in accordance with the Customs Tariff Act, 1975, and the Customs Tariff (Identification, Assessment and Collection of Anti-dumping duty on Dumped Articles for Determination of Injury) Rules, 1995, for initiation of an anti-dumping investigation and imposition of anti-dumping duty on imports of pentaerythritol.
The applicant has claimed that injury to the domestic industry is being caused due to the dumped imports from China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and Taiwan and has requested for imposition of anti-dumping duty on the imports of the subject goods.
The applicant has proposed China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and Taiwan as the subject countries. The Directorate General of Commercial Intelligence and Statistics (DGCI&S) published data shows that the import volume from Russia during the period of investigation is negligible by the way. Hence, the Authority has considered China, Saudi Arabia and Taiwan as the subject countries for the purpose of this investigation.
The applicant has stated that there is no known difference in the product produced by the domestic industry and the one exported from the subject countries. The articles produced by the applicant and imported from the subject countries are comparable in terms of physical and chemical characteristics, manufacturing process and technology, functions and uses, product specifications, pricing, distribution and marketing and tariff classification of the subject goods.
The subject goods and the article manufactured by the applicant are technically and commercially substitutable. The applicant has claimed that consumers of the subject goods are using the subject goods and the article manufactured by the applicant interchangeably. Thus, for the purposes of the present investigation, the article produced by the applicant has been considered as an article to the product being imported from the subject countries.
