finished or cold drawn or cold rolled of an external diameter not exceeding
355.6 mm or 14" OD' originating in or exported from China PR for a period
of 5 years.
G.S.R. 771(E).—Whereas, the designated
authority, vide notification No. 7/43/2020 dated the 19th February, 2021,
published in the Gazette of India, Extraordinary, Part I, Section 1, had
initiated a review in the matter of continuation of anti-dumping duty on
imports of ‘Seamless tubes, pipes and
hollow profiles of iron, alloy or non-alloy steel (other than cast iron and
stainless steel), whether hot finished or cold drawn or cold rolled of an
external diameter not exceeding 355.6 mm or 14 ‘OD’ (hereinafter referred
to as the ‘subject goods‘), falling under heading 7304 of the First Schedule to
the Customs Tariff Act, 1975 (51 of 1975) (hereinafter referred to as the
Customs Tariff Act), originating in, or exported from the People‘s Republic of China (hereinafter referred to as the
‘subject country‘), imposed vide notification of the Government of India, in

the Gazette of India, Extraordinary, Part II, Section 3, Sub-section (i), vide G.S.R. number 143 (E) dated the 17th February,
2017;
And whereas, in the matter of review of
anti-dumping duty on import of the subject goods, originating in or exported
from the subject country, the designated authority in its final findings,
published in the Gazette of India, Extraordinary, Part I, Section 1, vide notification
number 7/43/2020-DGTR dated the 30th July, 2021, has inter alia come to the
conclusion that-
(i) there is continued and significant dumping of
the subject goods from the subject country in spite of the duties in force and
the dumping margin and injury margin are positive and significant;
(ii) there is strong likelihood of continuation
or recurrence of dumping and injury in case the antidumping duty in force is
allowed to cease at this stage,
and
has recommended continued imposition of an anti-dumping duty on imports of the
subject goods, originating in, or exported from the subject country and
imported into India;
Now, therefore, in exercise of the powers conferred by
sub-sections (1) and (5) of section 9A of the Customs Tariff Act, read with
rules 18 and 23 of the Customs Tariff (Identification, Assessment and
Collection of Anti-dumping Duty on Dumped Articles and for Determination of
