The Commerce Ministry has started an exercise to help Indian exporters keep proper documentation to deal with U.S. countervailing duty cases on domestic products, an official said.
As part of the exercise, teams of the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGTR) and Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) are working on a roadmap to work on the kind of documentation that needs to be maintained by Indian exporters.
Before imposing countervailing or anti-subsidy duty (CVD), a country carries out detailed investigations on products which it believes that its trading partner is subsidising for export purposes. Subsidising exports is a kind of unfair trade practice.
