The Ministry of Finance has issued Notification No. 28/2025-Customs (ADD), dated August 19, 2025, to extend the anti-dumping duty on Toluene Di-isocyanate (TDI). This decision follows a review initiated by the designated authority on December 30, 2024, to assess the need for continued duty on TDI imports from the European Union and Saudi Arabia. The original anti-dumping duty was imposed by Notification No. 28/2021-Customs (ADD) on April 27, 2021.
This new notification, exercising powers under the Customs Tariff Act, 1975, amends the earlier one by inserting a new paragraph. This amendment extends the existing anti-dumping duty until March 1, 2026, unless it is revoked, superseded, or amended before that date. The purpose of this extension is to maintain the duty while the review process is underway. The measure is designed to protect domestic industries from the potential impact of dumped goods from the specified regions.
