AHMEDABAD: The Gujarat high court on Thursday extended its stay for six more weeks on the Centre’s decision to revoke anti-dumping duty on import of PVC flex films from China, and directed the Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal (CESTAT) to decide on the appeals filed by local manufacturers.
The court asked the central government to make its stand clear on the issue. The Centre told the HC that if the notification of revocation, which was issued on January 24, is stayed and the arrangement of levying of anti-dumping duty extended, it would lead to irreparable injury to the downstream industry and consumers. The expiry of anti-dumping duty would also otherwise not preclude local industry from seeing re-levying on the goods.
