MINISTRY OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY
(Department of Commerce)
(DIRECTORATE GENERAL OF ANTI-DUMPING AND ALLIED DUTIES)
INITIATION NOTIFICATION
New Delhi, the 13th June, 2014
Subject: Initiation of Sunset Review of definitive anti-dumping duty imposed on imports of Front Axle Beam
and Steering Knuckle meant for heavy and medium commercial vehicles originating in or exported
from the China PR.
F. No 15/11/2014-DGAD.—1. Having regard to the Customs Tariff Act, 1975 as amended from time to time
and the Customs Tariff (Identification, Assessment and Collection of Anti-dumping Duty on Dumped Articles and for
Determination of Injury) Rules, 1995, the Designated Authority (hereinafter referred to as the Authority) had
recommended to the Central Government imposition of the anti dumping duty on the imports of Front Axle Beam and
Steering Knuckle meant for heavy and medium commercial vehicles (hereinafter referred to as subject goods)
originating in or exported from China PR (hereinafter referred to as the subject country) vide its Final Findings
Notification dated 5th March, 2010. And, on the basis of the said Final Findings, the Department of Revenue, vide
Notification No. 50/2010-Customs dated 12th April, 2010, had levied the definitive anti dumping duty on the imports
of the subject goods originating in or exported from the subject country.
2. Whereas, in terms of the Customs Tariff (Amendment) Act 1995, the anti-dumping duty imposed shall unless
revoked earlier, cease to have effect on expiry of five years from the date of such imposition. and, notwithstanding the
above provision, the Authority is required to review, on the basis of a duly substantiated request made by or on4 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : EXTRAORDINARY [PART I—SEC. 1]
behalf of the domestic industry within a reasonable period of time prior to the date of the expiry of the measure, as to
whether the expiry of duty is likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping and injury.
3. And, Whereas, in terms of the above provisions, M/s. Bharat Forge Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as the applicant)
representing the Domestic Industry have approached the Authority with a duly substantiated application requesting for
such a review, and the Authority on the basis of prime facie evidence considers that initiation of sunset review
proceedings for the anti-dumping duty in force would be appropriate to examine the need for continued imposition of
such duty to offset dumping and whether the injury would be likely to continue or recur if the duty were removed or
varied or both.
DOMESTIC INDUSTRY
4. The application has been filed by M/s. Bharat Forge Ltd. on behalf of the domestic producers of the subject goods.
As per information available on record, the applicant accounts for a major proportion in Indian production of the
subject goods and, therefore, constitutes the domestic industry within the meaning of Rule 2(b) of the AD Rules.
INITIATION
5. Having satisfied itself on the basis of the positive prima facie evidence submitted by the domestic industry
substantiating the need for a review, the Authority hereby initiates a Sunset Review in accordance with Section 9A (5)
of the Act, read with Rule 23 of Antidumping Rules, to review the need for continued imposition of duties in force and
whether the expiry of the duty would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping and injury.
PRODUCTS UNDER CONSIDERATION
6. The products under consideration involved in the original investigation are ‘Front Axle Beam and Steering Knuckles
meant for heavy and medium commercial vehicles’ whether forged or machined. In the original investigation, vide
notification No. 14/19/2008-DGAD dated 5th March, 2010, the Designated Authority had defined the scope of products
under consideration as under:
“9.1 It is clarified that ambit and scope of the present investigation is restricted to imports of ‘Front Axle Beam and
Steering Knuckles meant for heavy and medium commercial vehicles’ originating in or exported from China PR only
and the entire axle assembly is not a part of the scope of the investigation.”
7. Present investigation being a review investigation, products under consideration remain the same as has been defined
in the original investigation. There has been no significant development in the products over the period. The petitioner
by supplying evidence claimed that the subject goods are imported with tariff codes 73269099, 73261910, 73261990,
87085000 and 87089900. However, the customs classification is indicative only and in no way binding on the scope of
this investigation.
LIKE ARTICLE
8. 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.
COUNTRIES INVOLVED
9. The countries involved in the present investigation are China PR.
PERIOD OF INVESTIGATION
10. The Period of investigation (POI) proposed by the applicant was from April 2013 to December 2013 (9 months).
However, for enabling the Authority to make required analysis on the basis of audited accounts for the financial year
2013-14, the Authority hereby determines the POI as April 2013 to March 2014 (12 months). The injury investigation
period will, however, cover the periods April 2010-March 2011, April 2011-March 2012, April 2012-March 2013 and
the POI.
PROCEDURE
11. The present sunset review covers all aspects of the final findings of the original investigation published vide
Notification No. 14/19/2008-DGAD dated 5th March, 2010.
12. The provisions of Rules 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 of the Rules supra shall be mutatis mutandis
applicable in this review.
SUBMISSION OF INFORMATION
13. The known exporters in the subject country and their Government through its Embassy importers and users in India
known to be concerned and the domestic industry are being informed separately to enable them to file all information
relevant in the form and manner prescribed. Any other interested party may also make its submissions relevant to the
investigation within the time-limit set out below and write to:

submitted in two separate sets (a) marked as Confidential (with title, index, number of pages, etc.) and (b) other set
marked as Non-Confidential (with title, index, number of pages, etc.). All the information supplied must be clearly
marked as either “confidential” or “non-confidential” at the top of each page.
16. Information supplied without any mark shall be treated as non-confidential and the Authority shall be at liberty to
allow the other interested parties to inspect any such non-confidential information. Two (2) copies each of the
confidential version and the non-confidential version must be submitted.
17. For information claimed as confidential; the supplier of the information is required to provide a good cause
statement along with the supplied information as to why such information cannot be disclosed and/or why
summarization of such information is not possible.
18. The non-confidential version is required to be a replica of the confidential version with the confidential information
preferably indexed or blanked out / summarized depending upon the information on which confidentiality is claimed.
The non-confidential summary must be in sufficient detail to permit a reasonable understanding of the substance of the
information furnished on confidential basis. However, in exceptional circumstances, party submitting the confidential
information may indicate that such information is not susceptible of summary; a statement of reasons why
summarization is not possible, must be provided to the satisfaction of the Authority.
19. The Authority may accept or reject the request for confidentiality on examination of the nature of the information
submitted. If the Authority is satisfied that the request for confidentiality is not warranted or the supplier of the
information is either unwilling to make the information public or to authorize its disclosure in generalized or summary
form, it may disregard such information.
20. Any submission made without a meaningful non-confidential version thereof or without a good cause statement on
the confidentiality claim may not be taken on record by the Authority. The Authority on being satisfied and accepting
the need for confidentiality of the information provided; shall not disclose it to any party without specific authorization
of the party providing such confidential information. Parties, may however, note that such information will be subject
to acceptance in terms of Anti-dumping Rule 7(1) and 7(2).
