The Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) on December 28, 2023, issued a notification regarding the Sunset review investigation of anti-dumping duty on imports of “Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) Sheet for Solar Module” from China PR.
The following has been stated;
• It is stated that the anti-dumping duty imposed shall, unless revoked earlier, cease to affect the expiry of five years from the date of such imposition and the Authority is required to review whether the expiry of duty is likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping and injury.
• The Authority initiated the sunset review investigation vide Notification No. 7/12/2023-DGTR dated September 20, 2023, to examine whether the expiry of the said duty is likely to lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping and injury to the domestic industry and whether there is a need for the continued imposition of an antidumping duty in respect of the subject goods originating in or exported from China.
• The domestic industry, in its application, stated that post imposition of duties, the imports from other countries subject to anti-dumping duty, i.e., Malaysia, Thailand and Saudi Arabia have significantly declined, with no imports in the POI or the year preceding the POI. They stated that under the current circumstances, there is no likelihood of dumping or injury from the said countries. Thus, the domestic industry only requested for continuation of duties against China PR.
