The Central Government, through the Ministry of Finance (Department of Revenue), has issued Notification No. 01/2026–Customs (ADD) dated 2 January 2026 to continue the imposition of anti-dumping duty on imports of “Flexible Slabstock Polyol of molecular weight 3000–4000” originating in or exported from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The continuation follows a sunset review initiated by the designated authority under section 9A(5) of the Customs Tariff Act, 1975, read with rule 23 of the Anti-Dumping Rules, 1995, pursuant to initiation notification dated 18 March 2025. The product under consideration falls under tariff sub-heading 3907 29 of the First Schedule to the Customs Tariff Act. The original anti-dumping duty had been imposed vide Notification No. 20/2021-Customs (ADD) dated 5 April 2021, and the authority recommended its extension pending completion of the review. Acting on this request, the Central Government amended the principal notification to insert a new paragraph clarifying that, notwithstanding the original validity provisions, the anti-dumping duty shall remain in force up to and inclusive of 17 June 2026, unless revoked, superseded, or amended earlier. The notification ensures continuity of trade remedial protection during the pendency of the sunset review, preventing lapse of duty and potential injury to the domestic industry until a final determination is made.
