India Extends Anti-Dumping Duty on Chinese Dry Battery Cells to Protect Domestic Industry Under Customs Tariff Act 8506

The Government of India has imposed an anti-dumping duty on the import of dry battery cells from China, following a sunset review by the designated authority. The review concluded that these goods are being imported at dumped prices, causing potential injury to the domestic industry. Despite improvements in the domestic sector due to existing duties, the likelihood of continued dumping necessitates the extension of these duties. The duty applies to dry cell batteries under heading 8506 of the Customs Tariff Act, with specific conditions detailed in a table, and will remain in force until April 12, 2013, unless revoked earlier.
