Executive Summary & Key Takeaways

**Executive Summary** This notification, issued by the Ministry of Finance on July 3, 2026, mandates the provisional assessment of ‘Glufosinate and its salt’ imports from the People's Republic of China. The order follows the initiation of an anti-absorption review investigation on March 2, 2026, after *prima facie* evidence suggested that previously imposed anti-dumping duties were being absorbed. Importers are now required to furnish guarantees for potential differential duties pending the final outcome of the review. **Key Points / Main Content** **Background and Original Duty** * Anti-dumping duty (ADD) was originally recommended for ‘Glufosinate and its salt’ originating in or exported from China on February 10, 2025. * The Central Government officially imposed this duty via notification No. 09/2025-Customs (ADD) on May 8, 2025. **Anti-Absorption Review** * The designated authority initiated an anti-absorption review investigation on March 2, 2026, under Section 9A of the Customs Tariff Act, 1975. * The review aims to determine if the subject goods are being imported at prices that undermine the effectiveness of the existing ADD. * The authority found *prima facie* evidence of duty absorption and recommended provisional assessment of imports during the investigation period. **Provisional Assessment Requirements** * Imports of the subject goods from China are now subject to provisional assessment until the Central Government reaches a final decision based on the review. * Importers must provide a guarantee, as determined by the proper officer of customs, to cover any differential anti-dumping duty that may become payable. **Continuity of Existing Levies** * The existing anti-dumping duty imposed on May 8, 2025, remains in effect and will continue to be levied and collected according to the original provisions during the review process. **Impact Analysis** **Importers of ‘Glufosinate and its salt’ from China** **Impact** Importers face financial and administrative shifts as their shipments are now subject to provisional assessment rather than final clearance. There is a potential for increased duty liability depending on the outcome of the anti-absorption review. **Action Required** Importers must furnish financial guarantees to customs authorities to cover possible differential duties and ensure compliance with provisional assessment procedures. **Customs Authorities (Proper Officers)** **Impact** Customs officers are responsible for implementing the provisional assessment and determining the adequacy of the guarantees provided by importers. **Action Required** Officers must assess the required guarantees for subject imports and continue to collect the existing ADD as per notification No. 09/2025-Customs (ADD). **The Designated Authority (DGTR)** **Impact** The authority is tasked with completing the anti-absorption review investigation to determine the extent of duty absorption. **Action Required** The authority must conclude its investigation and submit final findings and recommendations to the Central Government for a final decision.
