The Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MoCI) on February 27, 2026, notified regarding the Sunset review investigation concerning the anti-dumping duty on imports of “Methyl Acetoacetate” originating in or exported from China PR.
The following has been stated:
• The review has been initiated upon an application filed by the domestic industry, which has claimed that cessation of the existing anti-dumping duty is likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping and consequent injury to the domestic producers.
• The investigation will examine whether the expiry of the current anti-dumping duty would result in continued dumping and material injury to the domestic industry. The period of investigation (POI) for the review has been specified, along with a separate injury analysis period covering previous years. Interested parties, including exporters, importers, and other stakeholders, have been invited to submit relevant information, evidence, and responses within the prescribed timelines.
• The existing anti-dumping duty shall remain in force pending the outcome of the sunset review investigation.
• The Designated Authority will investigate in accordance with the applicable anti-dumping rules and submit its findings to the Central Government for appropriate decision regarding continuation, modification, or termination of the duty.
