Back Mid-term review of dumping duty on Vitamin AD3

New Delhi , Jan. 21

THE Designated Authority in the Commerce and Industry Ministry has initiated mid-term review of the anti-dumping duty in force on Vitamin AD3 500/100 originating in or exported from the European Union and Singapore.

Vitamin AD3 500/100 is a light brown coloured fine granular powder. It is used in animal/poultry/prawn feed to provide required vitamin level for better nutrition. Pharmaceutical companies with veterinary divisions use this product to manufacture animal health dry products.

The Finance Ministry had, in May 2002, imposed definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of Vitamin AD3 500/100 from the EU and Singapore.

The latest move of the designated authority has come in response to requests filed by the EU for a changed circumstances mid-term review of anti-dumping duty in force.
