The Hon’ble Prime Minister has been taking various path breaking policy initiatives to address the raw material structural issues, especially the manmade fibres, the future growth engine of the Indian textile industry by removing the anti-dumping duties (ADD) levied on various raw materials including PTA and MEG, polyester staple fibres, acrylic fibre and viscose staple fibre. However, based on the appeal made by the Associations of MMF industry, Customs, Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal (CESTAT), New Delhi had remanded the matter to DGTR to re-examine and consequently, the Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) has now recommended to levy 0.512 USD per kg anti-dumping duty on the Viscose Staple Fibre imported from Indonesia.
