The Ministry of Finance has issued Notification No. 07/2025-Customs (CVD) dated 7 December 2025, extending the countervailing duty (CVD) on imports of Textured Tempered Glass originating in or exported from Malaysia. This decision follows the initiation of a sunset review by the designated authority under Section 9(6) of the Customs Tariff Act, 1975 and Rule 24 of the Countervailing Duty Rules, 1995, which recommended continuation of the duty to prevent injury to the domestic industry. The CVD was originally imposed through Notification No. 3/2021-Customs (CVD) dated 9 March 2021. The new amendment inserts a provision stating that the existing duty will remain in force until 8 June 2026, unless altered earlier by the government. The extension ensures continued protection for domestic producers during the review period while allowing the government flexibility to revise, revoke, or supersede the duty based on future findings.
