Core Purpose

The Central Government, through the Ministry of Finance (Department of Revenue), imposes anti-dumping duty on imports of 'Aniline' originating in or exported from China PR, superseding previous Notification No. 08/2021-Customs (ADD) dated 19th February, 2021.

Detailed Summary

The Ministry of Finance (Department of Revenue) issued Notification No. 25/2025-Customs (ADD) on 18th July, 2025, imposing anti-dumping duty on 'Aniline' (tariff subheading 2921 41) imported from or exported from China PR. This action supersedes Notification No. 08/2021-Customs (ADD), dated 19th February, 2021. The decision follows a review initiated by the designated authority on 24th September, 2024, under sub-section (5) of section 9A of the Customs Tariff Act, 1975 (51 of 1975), and Rule 23 of the Customs Tariff (Identification, Assessment and Collection of Anti-dumping Duty on Dumped Articles and for Determination of Injury) Rules, 1995. The designated authority's final findings, published on 22nd April, 2025, concluded that there is continued dumping of Aniline from China PR, causing injury to the domestic industry, and a strong likelihood of continuation of dumping and injury if the duty ceases. Consequently, the Central Government, exercising powers under sub-sections (1) and (5) of section 9A of the Customs Tariff Act, read with Rules 18, 20, and 23 of the aforementioned Rules, imposed duties. For Aniline from China PR produced by Wanhua Chemical Group Co., Limited, the duty is US$ 36.90 per MT. For Aniline from China PR produced by any other combination, or from any country except China PR but exported from China PR, the duty is US$ 121.79 per MT. This anti-dumping duty will be levied for five years from 18th July, 2025, and is payable in Indian currency, with the exchange rate determined under section 14 of the Customs Act, 1962 (52 of 1962), based on the bill of entry presentation date under section 46.
