that-
1. subject goods originating in or exported from China PR, Chinese Taipei and Korea RP had been exported to India below
their normal value, resulting in dumping;
2. subject goods from Brazil had not been exported to India during the period of investigation (POI); therefore, the current
dumping from Brazil could not be determined. The trend of imports indicated that imports from Brazil might not resume.
3. in case of revocation of anti-dumping duties on the subject goods from China PR, Chinese Taipei and Korea RP, the
dumping was likely to continue, and the dumped imports from these countries likely to continue injury to the domestic
industry.
and had recommended continued imposition of definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of the subject goods, originating in, or
exported from, the subject countries other than Brazil and imported into India, in order to remove injury to the domestic industry;
Now, therefore, in exercise of the powers conferred by sub-sections (1) and (5) of section 9A of the Customs Tariff Act, 1975
