Executive Summary & Key Takeaways

Executive Summary: This document initiates a sunset review investigation concerning imports of Flexible Slabstock Polyol originating in or exported from Singapore. This review is to determine if the expiration of existing antidumping duties would lead to continued or renewed dumping and injury. Interested parties have 40 days from the notification date (August 9, 2019) to submit information and register their interest. Key Points / Main Content: * **Purpose of Review:** To assess whether the expiry of antidumping duty on Flexible Slabstock Polyol from Singapore would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping and injury to the domestic industry. * **Legal Basis:** The review is initiated according to the Customs Tariff Act of 1975, as amended in 1995, and the AD Rules of 1995. **Product Under Consideration** * The product under consideration is Flexible slabstock polyol, a clear viscous liquid polymer with a molecular weight of 3000-4000. * It is classified under Chapter 39 of the Customs Tariff Act, 1975, specifically under 3907 20, but this classification is indicative only. * The product under consideration remains the same as defined in the original notification. **Domestic Industry** * Ms. Manali Petrochemicals Ltd. has filed the application on behalf of the domestic industry. * The applicant's product is considered a "like article" to the imported subject goods. **Country Under Investigation** * The sunset review investigation concerns imports from Singapore only, though the original investigation included Australia and the EU. **Procedure & Period of Investigation (POI)** * The review will cover all aspects of the Final Finding Notification No.1412013DGAD dated 11.1.2015. * The period of investigation (POI) is from April 1, 2018, to March 31, 2019. Injury analysis will consider data from April 2015 to March 2019. * Rules 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20 of the Rules shall be mutatis mutandis applicable in this review. **Submission of Information** * Known exporters, the Government of Singapore, importers, and users in India are being contacted separately to submit information. * Interested parties must submit information in the prescribed form and manner to the Designated Authority. * Confidential submissions must be accompanied by a non-confidential version. **Time Limits** * Interested parties have 40 days from the date of initiation (August 9, 2019) to intimate their interest and file questionnaire responses. Impact Analysis **Domestic Industry (Ms. Manali Petrochemicals Ltd.)** * Impact: The outcome of the investigation will determine whether the antidumping duty on imports of Flexible Slabstock Polyol from Singapore will continue, which directly affects their competitiveness and market share. * Action Required: They have already filed the application. **Exporters in Singapore** * Impact: The continuation or termination of antidumping duties will significantly affect their ability to export Flexible Slabstock Polyol to India. * Action Required: Submit relevant information and respond to questionnaires within 40 days. **Importers and Users in India** * Impact: The cost of Flexible Slabstock Polyol, and therefore their production costs, will be affected by the outcome of the investigation. * Action Required: Submit relevant information and make their views known to the Authority within 40 days. **Government of Singapore** * Impact: The outcome of the investigation may affect trade relations with India. * Action Required: Submit relevant information to the Authority through their embassy in India within 40 days. **Other Interested Parties** * Impact: May be affected by the cost and availability of Flexible Slabstock Polyol. * Action Required: May make submissions relevant to the investigation in the prescribed form and manner within 40 days.

F. No. 7/11112222/2019-DGTR.—1. Having regard to the Customs Tariff Act, 1975 as amended in 1995 (hereinafter referred to as the Act) and the Customs Tariff (Identification, Assessment and Collection of Duty or Additional Duty on Dumped Articles and for Determination of Injury) Rules, 1995 (hereinafter referred to as AD Rules). On the basis of Findings dated 11.1.2015, the authority recommended imposition of anti-dumping duties which was imposed vide Custom notification No. 9/2015-Customs (ADD) dated 7.4.2015 by Ministry of Finance (MoF). The duty imposed would expire on 6.4.2020.¹Hkkx Iµ[k.M 1º Hkkjr dk jkti=k % vlk/kj.k 5 2. Whereas in terms of Section 9A(5) the Customs Tariff(Amendment) Act 1995 the antidumping duty imposed shall unless revoked earlier, cease to have effect on 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. In accordance with the above, the Authority is required to review, on the basis of a duly substantiated request made by or on behalf of the domestic industry, as to whether the expiry of duty is likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping and injury. 3. M/s Manali Petrochemicals Ltd., has filed an application before the Designated Authority (hereinafter referred to as the Authority) in accordance with the Customs Tariff Act, 1975 as amended from time to time (hereinafter referred to as the Act) and Customs Tariff (Identification, Assessment and Collection of Anti-Dumping Duty on Dumped articles and for Determination of injury) Rules, 1995 as amended from time to time (hereinafter referred to as the AD Rules) for initiation of Sunset Review investigation concerning imports of Flexible Slabstock Polyol (hereinafter also referred to as the subject goods) originating in or exported from Australia, EU and Singapore (hereinafter referred to as the subject countries). A. Product under consideration 4. The product under consideration in the present investigation is Flexible slabstock polyol. The subject product is a clear viscous liquid polymer of molecular weight 3000-4000, manufactured by polymerization of propylene oxide and ethylene oxide with a triol chain starter. It is a polyether and on reaction with catalysts and additives yields polyurethane foams used in upholstery, mattresses, pillows, bolsters, transport seating and packaging. Flexible slabstock polyol is transported in tankers or stored in steel drums (hereinafter referred to as the “subject goods”). 5. The present petition being for sunset review investigation, as per the settled jurisprudence and the past practices of the Authority, the Product under Consideration remains the same as defined in the original notification 6. The subject goods are classified under the category “Plastics and articles thereof” in Chapter 39 of the Customs Tariff Act, 1975 and further under 3907 20 as per International Trade Classification. The classification, however, is only indicative and in no way binding on the scope of the present investigation. B. Like Article 7. The applicant has claimed that the subject goods, which are being dumped into India, are identical to the goods produced by the domestic industry. There are no differences either in the technical specifications, quality, functions or end-uses of the dumped imports and the domestically produced subject goods and the product under consideration manufactured by the applicant. The two are technically and commercially substitutable and hence should be treated as ‘like article’ under the AD Rules. Therefore, for the purpose of the present investigation, the subject goods produced by the applicant in India are being treated as ‘Like Article’ to the subject goods being imported from the subject countries. C. Domestic Industry and ‘Standing’ 8. The Application has been filed by M/s. Manali Petrochemicals Ltd on behalf of the domestic industry. As claimed by M/s. Manali Petrochemicals Ltd, they are the major producer of the subject goods in India and therefore constitute the domestic industry within the meaning of the Rules 2 (b) and the application satisfies the criteria of standing in terms of Rule 5 (3) of the Rules supra. D. Countries involved 9. The countries involved in the original investigation were Australia, EU and Singapore. However, for the purpose of this current sunset review investigation, the Authority is initiating the investigation against Singapore only. Therefore, now Singapore is the subject country for this sunset review. E. Procedure 10. The review will cover all aspects of Final Finding Notification No.14/1/2013-DGAD dated 11.1.2015 recommending imposition of anti-dumping duty on import of subject goods originating in or exported from subject country. 11.
