Detailed Summary

The Ministry of Finance (Department of Revenue) issued Notification No. 13/2026-Customs (ADD) (G.S.R. 566(E)) on July 3, 2026, ordering the provisional assessment of imports of "Insoluble Sulphur" originating in or exported from the People's Republic of China.

The provisional assessment will continue until a decision is made under sub-rule (3) of rule 31 of the said rules and is subject to importers furnishing guarantees for potential differential anti-dumping duty. It is clarified that the original anti-dumping duty imposed via Notification No. 13/2025-Customs (ADD) continues to be levied and collected on imports from both People's Republic of China and Japan.
