**4. Background and Rationale:**

* **Countries Affected:** The policy targets imports originating in or exported from China PR.
* **Duty Amounts:** The antidumping duty is specified in USD per metric ton (MT) and varies based on the producer. For Shandong Huihai Pharmaceutical and Chemical Company Limited, the duty is 493.73 USD/MT. For all other producers from China PR, the duty is 826.75 USD/MT.
* **Duration:** The antidumping duty will be levied for a period of five years from the date of publication of the notification unless revoked, superseded, or amended earlier.
* **Currency:** The duty is payable in Indian currency, using the exchange rate specified by the Government of India for customs purposes at the time of bill of entry presentation.
**6. Target Audience and Stakeholders:**
The primary target audience and stakeholders directly affected by this policy are:
* **Domestic Manufacturers of N, N-Dicyclohexyl Carbodiimide (DCC) in India:** The policy aims to protect their interests.
* **Importers of N, N-Dicyclohexyl Carbodiimide (DCC) into India, especially from China PR:** They will face additional costs due to the antidumping duty.
* **Foreign Producers/Exporters of N, N-Dicyclohexyl Carbodiimide (DCC) from China PR:** Their exports to India will be subject to the duty.
**7. Implementation Aspects (Inferred):**
* **Responsible Agency/Bodies:** The Ministry of Finance (Department of Revenue) and the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC), based on the notification's origin, are responsible for implementing the policy. The designated authority (DGTR) has conducted the investigation and recommended the duty.
* **Timelines/Procedures:** The antidumping duty is effective from the date of publication (April 28, 2022) and will remain in effect for five years. The duty is applied upon the presentation of the bill of entry under Section 46 of the Customs Act, 1962.
**8. Expected Outcomes / Impact of Changes:**
* **New Policy:** The intended outcomes of this policy are:
* Reduced dumping of N, N-Dicyclohexyl Carbodiimide (DCC) into the Indian market from China PR.
* Improved market conditions for domestic manufacturers of N, N-Dicyclohexyl Carbodiimide (DCC) in India, allowing them to establish and grow their businesses.
