“Dumping” occurs when the export price is less than the normal value. The “margin of dumping”  or  “dumping  margin”  is  the fair comparison between the export price and the normal value.

Throughout the anti-dumping investigation all interested parties shall have a full opportunity for the defence of their interests

The authorities shall, before a final determination is made, inform all interested parties of the essential facts under consideration which form the basis for the decision whether to apply definitive measures. Such disclosure should take place in sufficient time for the parties to defend their interests.

The designated authority shall, within one year from the date of initiation of an investigation, determine as to whether or not the article under investigation is being dumped in India and submit to the Central Government its final finding

The Central Government may, pending the determination in accordance with the provisions of this section and the rules made thereunder of the normal value and the margin of dumping in relation to any article, impose on the importation of such article  into  India  an  anti-dumping  duty  on the basis of a provisional estimate of such value and margin and if such antidumping duty exceeds the margin as so determined:

Any anti-dumping duty under section 9A, at any time, upon receipt of satisfactory voluntary undertaking from any exporter to revise its prices or to cease exports to the area in question at dumped price and if the Central Government is satisfied that the injurious effect of dumping is eliminated by such action.

Under Section 9A (5) of the Act, an anti-dumping duty imposed on a product shall cease to have effect on the expiry of five years from date of such imposition. Further in line with Article 11 of the ADA a duty shall remain in force only as long as and to the extent necessary to counteract dumping which is causing injury

(1A) The designated authority shall review the need for the continued imposition of any anti-dumping duty, where warranted, on its own initiative or upon request by any interested party who submits positive information substantiating the need for such review
