Seeks to provide for provisional assessment of subjects goods exported by M/s Anhui Krant Aluminum Products Co., Ltd under notification No. 16/2024-Customs (ADD) dated 27.09.2024 , till the final findings of New Shipper Review are issued
The Central Government, through Notification No. 07/2026-Customs (ADD) dated May 19, 2026, ordered provisional assessment of imports of “Anodized Aluminium Frames for Solar Panels/Modules” originating in or exported from China PR by M/s Anhui Krant Aluminum Products Co., Ltd pending completion of a new shipper review by the Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR). The review was initiated under Rule 22 of the Anti-Dumping Rules, 1995 after the exporter sought reconsideration of anti-dumping duties previously imposed on such imports following findings that dumped Chinese imports had materially retarded the establishment of domestic industry in India. The notification provides that imports made during the review period will remain subject to provisional assessment and may require security or guarantees to cover any future duty liability. It further clarifies that if the DGTR ultimately recommends anti-dumping duty, the importer will be liable to pay such duty retrospectively from the date of initiation of the review.
