The Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MoC&I), on January 27, 2026, notified regarding the Initiation of sunset review anti-dumping investigation concerning imports of ‘Phthalic Anhydride’ from China PR, Korea RP and Thailand.
The following has been stated namely:-
• Export price:- The export price of the product under consideration has been determined by considering the CIF price of the product under consideration as reported in DG Systems transaction-wise import data. Adjustments have been claimed for ocean freight, marine insurance, commission, bank charges, port expenses, credit costs and inventory carrying costs.
• Dumping margin:- The normal value and the export price have been compared at the ex-factory level, which prima facie establishes that the dumping margin with respect to the product under consideration imported from the subject countries is not only above the de minimis level but is also significant.
• Initiation of sunset review investigation:- On the basis of the duly substantiated application of the applicant, and having satisfied itself on the basis of the prima facie evidence submitted by the applicant, substantiating the likelihood of continuation/recurrence of dumping and injury, and in accordance with Section 9A(5) of the Act read with Rule 23 (IB) of the Rules, the Authority hereby initiates a sunset review investigation to review the need for continued imposition of the duties in force in respect of the subject goods, originating in or exported from the subject countries, and to examine whether the expiry of such duty is likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping and injury to the domestic industry.
