Executive Summary & Key Takeaways

Executive Summary: This document initiates an anti-dumping investigation concerning imports of High-Speed Steel of Non-Cobalt Grade from Brazil, China, and Germany. The investigation period is from April 1, 2017, to March 31, 2018. Interested parties must submit relevant information to the Designated Authority within 40 days of the notification date (August 14, 2018). Key Points / Main Content: Product Under Consideration: * The investigation concerns "High Speed Steel of Non-Cobalt Grade" with specific element compositions (Molybdenum, Tungsten, Vanadium, Carbon, and Chromium). * The product is primarily classified under Chapter Heading 72 (Iron and Steel) of the Customs Tariff Act, specifically 72281010 and 72281090, but may fall under other heads of 7228 as well. * The product description prevails over HS codes in all circumstances. Like Article: * The subject goods produced domestically are considered like articles to those imported from Brazil, China, and Germany. * They are comparable in terms of characteristics, manufacturing, functions, specifications, pricing, distribution, and tariff classification and are commercially substitutable. Domestic Industry Standing: * Ms Graphite India Limited filed the application as the domestic industry, accounting for 83% of total Indian production. * The petitioner has certified that they have no related party imports from the subject countries. Dumping Margin: * There is prima facie evidence that the normal value of the subject goods in the subject countries are higher than the ex-factory export price. * This indicates the subject goods are being dumped into the Indian market by exporters from the subject countries. Injury and Causal Link: * The domestic industry has suffered material injury from dumped imports. * Imports are undercutting domestic prices, leading to financial losses. Submission of Information: * Exporters, governments, importers, users, and the domestic industry are requested to submit relevant information to the Designated Authority. * Any interested party may also make submissions within the time limit. * Confidential submissions must include a non-confidential version or a statement explaining why summarization is not possible. Time Limit: * All information must reach the Authority within 40 days of the publication of the notification. Confidentiality: * Parties must clearly mark submissions as "confidential" or "non-confidential." * A good cause statement is required for claiming confidentiality. * The Authority may accept or reject confidentiality requests. Non-Cooperation: * The Authority may record findings based on available facts if parties refuse access to information or impede the investigation. Impact Analysis: Exporters in Brazil, China, and Germany: * Impact: Subject to investigation for alleged dumping practices. * Action Required: Submit relevant information to the Designated Authority to present their case. Importers and Users in India: * Impact: Potentially affected by anti-dumping duties if dumping is confirmed. * Action Required: Submit relevant information and views to the Authority. Domestic Industry (Ms Graphite India Limited): * Impact: Seeks protection from allegedly dumped imports. * Action Required: Continue to provide necessary data and cooperation to the Authority. Governments of Brazil, China, and Germany: * Impact: Their exporters are subject to investigation. * Action Required: Submit relevant information through their Embassy in India. Designated Authority: * Impact: Responsible for conducting the anti-dumping investigation. * Action Required: Review submissions, conduct the investigation, and make recommendations.

No. 6/23/2018-DGTR: M/s Graphite India Limited (hereinafter also referred to as the Petitioner or Applicant) has filed an application before the Designated Authority (hereinafter also referred to as the Authority) in accordance with the Customs Tariff Act, 1975 as amended from time to time (hereinafter also referred to as the Act) and the 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 also referred to as the Rules) for imposition of Anti-dumping duty on imports of " High Speed Steel of Non Cobalt Grade having three elements i.e., Molybdenum, Tungsten and Vanadium, out of which combination of Tungsten and Molybdenum should be between 4% - 11.5% and Vanadium 3.5% maximum. Carbon should be between 0.7 % - 1.3% and Chromium between 3.5% - 4.6%" (hereinafter also referred to as the subject goods or PUC) from Brazil, China and Germany (hereinafter also referred to as the subject countries). Product under consideration 1. The product under consideration for the purpose of present investigation is "High Speed Steel of Non Cobalt Grade having three elements i.e., Molybdenum, Tungsten and Vanadium, out of which combination of Tungsten and Molybdenum should be between 4% - 11.5% and Vanadium 3.5% maximum. Carbon should be between 0.7 % - 1.3% and Chromium between 3.5% - 4.6%”. 2. The subject good is used for making High Speed Steel Cutting Tools. The subject products are classified under Chapter Heading 72 “Iron and Steel” of the Customs Tariff Act. The classification at the 8-digit level is majorly under 72281010 and 72281090. However, goods are coming under other heads of 7228 also. It is clarified that the HS codes are only indicative and the product description shall prevail in all circumstances. Like Article 3. The petitioner has submitted that subject goods produced by the petitioner company and the subject goods imported from the subject countries are like articles. There is no known difference between the subject goods exported from subject countries and that produced by the petitioner. Subject goods produced by the domestic industry and imported from subject countries are comparable in terms of essential product characteristics such as physical & chemical characteristics, manufacturing process & technology, functions & uses, product specifications, pricing, distribution & marketing and tariff classification of the goods. Consumers can use and are using the two interchangeably. The two are technically and commercially substitutable, and hence, should be treated as ‘like article’ under the Rules. Therefore, for the purpose of the present investigation, the subject goods produced by the applicant in India are being¹Hkkx Iµ[k.M 1º Hkkjr dk jkti=k % vlk/kj.k 5 treated as ‘Like Article’ within the meaning of the Rule 2 (d) to the subject goods being imported from the subject countries. Domestic Industry & Standing 4. The Application has been filed by M/s Graphite India Limited., as domestic industry of the product under consideration. According to the Petitioner, they are the major producers of the subject goods in India accounting for 83% of the total production in India. The petitioner has certified that there are no imports of the product under consideration by the petitioner or any of its related party from the subject countries. Since the petitioner account for entire the major proportion of the total production of the product under consideration in India, the petitioner satisfies the standing and constitutes Domestic Industry within the meaning of the Rule 2 (b). Country involved 5. The present investigation is in respect of alleged dumping of the product under consideration from Brazil, China and Germany (subject countries). Normal Value 6. The applicant has claimed the normal value based on price prevailing in the subject countries. The Authority after considering the supporting evidences for the domestic sales has considered it appropriate to correlate the same with constructed normal value which have been constructed as per its consistent norms / methodology of cost of production in India, duly adjusted with selling, general and administrative expenses and reasonable profit. Export Price 7. The applicant has computed the export price on the basis of data published by DGCI&S, Kolkata. Price adjustments have been claimed on account of commission, ocean freight, port expenses, inland freight, marine insurance, credit cost and bank charges and VAT in case of China as per the consistent norms adopted. Dumping Margin 8. The normal value and the export price have been compared at ex-factory level, which prima facie show significant dumping margin in respect of the subject goods from the subject countries. There is sufficient prima facie evidence that the normal value of the subject goods in the subject countries are higher than the ex-factory export price, indicating, prima facie, that the subject goods are being dumped into the Indian market by the exporters from the subject countries. Injury and Causal Link 9. The applicant has claimed that domestic industry has suffered material injury from dumped imports. The demand for the product under consideration has increased over the injury period and subject imports have increased in absolute terms. The imports are undercutting the domestic prices and have suppressed/depressed the domestic prices which have led to financial losses and negative return on capital employed. Therefore, there is prima facie evidence of injury to the domestic industry caused by dumped imports from subject countries to justify initiation of an anti- dumping investigation. Period of Investigation (POI) 10. The period of investigation for the purpose of present investigation is from 1st April 2017 to 31st March 2018 (12 months). However, the injury investigation period will cover the data of previous three years, i.e. April 2014 to March-2015, April 2015 to March 2016, April 2016 to March-2017 and POI.6 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : EXTRAORDINARY [PART I—SEC. 1] Submission of Information 11.

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 if 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 shall not be taken on record by the Authority. 21.
