Whereas it has been brought to the notice of the Designated Authority that no import has taken place of the subject goods from Chinese Taipei during the period of investigation (1st April 1999 to 30th September 2000). Subsequently, all the interested parties were informed about the data error found in the official statistics based on which anti dumping duty on imports of Analgin from Chinese Taipei were imposed and intention of the Authority to rectify the same. Whereas no replies/comments were received from any of the interested parties within the specified time. In view of the foregoing, para 14 & para 15 (15.1 and 15.2) of the Final Finding notified vide Notification No. 66/1/2000-DGAD dated the 12th September 2001 stands amended as under:
“14. The Authority after considering the foregoing concludes that:
Analgin and most commonly used synonyms of Analgin like Dipyrone, Metamizole, Methampyrone, originating in or exported from China PR has been exported to India below normal value resulting in dumping;
The domestic industry has suffered material injury;
The injury has been caused by the imports from the China PR.
15.1 The Authority considered to recommend the amount of anti dumping duty equal to the margin of dumping or less, which if levied, would remove the injury to domestic industry. The weighted average landed price of the imports, for the purpose, was compared with the fair selling price of the domestic industry determined for the period of investigation. Wherever the difference is lower than the dumping margin, determined as detailed herein above, a duty lower than the dumping margin is recommended.
15.2 Accordingly, the Authority confirms the preliminary findings with regard to imposition of anti dumping duties, and recommends imposition of definitive Anti Dumping Duties, as set out below, on all imports of Analgin and most commonly used synonyms of Analgin like Dipyrone, Metamizole, Methampyrone, as described under entry under “3369 of MERCK INDEX” (also referred as subject goods), originating in or exported from China PR. The Anti-dumping duty shall be the amount mentioned in column (3) below in US $/Kg on all imports of subject goods originating in or exported from China PR falling under Chapter 29 of the Customs Tariff Act, 1975.
