Executive Summary & Key Takeaways

## Policy Analysis Report: Anti-dumping Duty on 1-Phenyl-3-Methyl-5-Pyrazolone from China **1. Executive Summary:** This report analyzes a notification from the Ministry of Finance, Department of Revenue, imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of 1-Phenyl-3-Methyl-5-Pyrazolone (hereinafter referred to as the subject goods), originating in or exported from the People's Republic of China (hereinafter referred to as the subject country). The policy aims to protect the domestic industry from material injury caused by dumped imports of the subject goods. The key finding is that an anti-dumping duty is imposed, calculated as the difference between USD 4.89 per kg and the landed value of the goods, applicable for five years, with a specific period excluded. **2. Introduction:** The purpose of this report is to provide an informative overview and analysis of Notification No. 26/2021-Customs, ADD, published in the Gazette of India, imposing an anti-dumping duty on imports of 1-Phenyl-3-Methyl-5-Pyrazolone from China. This analysis is based solely on the provided policy text. **3. Policy Overview:** This is a new policy imposing anti-dumping duties. * **Core Objective(s):** Based on the provided text, the core objective is to remove the injury to the domestic industry caused by the dumped imports of the subject goods from China. **4. Background and Rationale:** * The policy addresses the issue of imports of 1-Phenyl-3-Methyl-5-Pyrazolone from China at prices below their normal value (dumping). The designated authority found that these dumped imports have caused material injury to the domestic industry. The anti-dumping duty is intended to counteract the negative effects of this unfair trade practice. **5. Key Provisions / Changes:** * This is a new policy and the following are the main components: * **Subject Goods:** 1-Phenyl-3-Methyl-5-Pyrazolone falling under tariff heading 2933 of the First Schedule to the Customs Tariff Act, 1975. * **Country of Origin/Export:** People's Republic of China. * **Anti-Dumping Duty:** The duty is equal to the difference between USD 4.89 per kilogram and the landed value of the goods. * **Duration:** The anti-dumping duty is levied for a period of five years from June 9, 2020 (the date of imposition of the provisional anti-dumping duty), unless revoked, superseded, or amended earlier. * **Suspension Period:** The anti-dumping duty shall not be levied for the period commencing from December 9, 2020, upto the preceding day of the publication of this notification in the Official Gazette. * **Currency:** The duty is payable in Indian currency. * **Exchange Rate:** The exchange rate applicable for calculating the anti-dumping duty is determined by the notification issued by the Ministry of Finance, Department of Revenue, under Section 14 of the Customs Act, 1962. The relevant date for determining the exchange rate is the date of presentation of the bill of entry. * **Landed Value:** The landed value of imports is the assessable value as determined by customs under the Customs Act, excluding duties levied under sections 3, 8B, 9, 9A of the Customs Tariff Act. **6. Target Audience and Stakeholders:** The directly affected parties include: * **Domestic producers** of 1-Phenyl-3-Methyl-5-Pyrazolone in India. * **Importers** of 1-Phenyl-3-Methyl-5-Pyrazolone from China. * **Exporters** of 1-Phenyl-3-Methyl-5-Pyrazolone from China. * **Producers** of 1-Phenyl-3-Methyl-5-Pyrazolone in China. * **Customs authorities** responsible for assessing and collecting the anti-dumping duty. **7. Implementation Aspects (Inferred):** * **Responsible Agency/Bodies:** The Ministry of Finance (Department of Revenue) and the Customs authorities are responsible for implementing the policy. The designated authority (DGTR) conducted the investigation leading to the imposition of the duty. * **Timelines/Procedures:** The anti-dumping duty is effective for five years from June 9, 2020, with a break in the period of enforcement. Importers are required to pay the duty at the time of import, with the amount calculated based on the difference between the USD 4.89/kg benchmark and the landed value. The landed value will be determined through customs assessment processes. * The customs department is responsible for using the appropriate exchange rate as outlined in the relevant notification. **8. Expected Outcomes / Impact of Changes:** * The intended outcome is to level the playing field for domestic producers of 1-Phenyl-3-Methyl-5-Pyrazolone by neutralizing the price advantage gained by Chinese exporters through dumping. This is expected to protect domestic industry from material injury, encourage domestic production, and promote fair competition. The policy could lead to increased prices for consumers who rely on imported 1-Phenyl-3-Methyl-5-Pyrazolone. **9. Conclusion:** Notification No. 26/2021-Customs, ADD, imposes a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of 1-Phenyl-3-Methyl-5-Pyrazolone from China for a period of five years, with a specified suspension period. This policy is a significant measure aimed at protecting the domestic industry from the adverse effects of unfair trade practices. The duty is calculated as the difference between a fixed amount (USD 4.89/kg) and the landed value of the imported goods. Effective implementation and monitoring will be crucial to achieving the policy's intended objectives.
