(DIRECTORATE GENERAL OF ANTI-DUMPING AND ALLIED DUTIES)

INITIATION NOTIFICATION

New Delhi, the 20th December, 2013

Subject : Initiation of Anti-Dumping Duty investigation concerning imports of Sheet Glass originating in

or exported from China PR

No.14/22/2013-DGAD.—M/s Bharat Glass Tube Limited, has filed an application before the

Designated Authority (hereinafter referred to as the Authority) in accordance with the Customs Tariff Act,

1975 as amended from time to time (hereinafter referred to as the Act) and Customs Tariff (Identification,

Assessment and Collection of Anti-Dumping Duty on Dumped articles and for Determination of injury) Rules,

1995 as amended from time to time (hereinafter referred to as the AD Rules) for initiation of Anti-Dumping

Duty investigation concerning imports of Sheet Glass (hereinafter also referred to as the subject goods)

originating in or exported from China PR (hereinafter referred to as the subject country).

Product under Consideration

The product under consideration in the present investigation is Sheet Glass, originating in or exported

from China PR. It is produced by using horizontally lehr. The glass is taken directly from the free surface of

the melt and the edges of the sheet are stabilized by driving the glass upward using rotating bodies. The molten

glass passes from the glass furnace to a vertical drawing machine to a height of about 1000 MM from where

the formed glass is converted in to glass sheet by horizontal flow. Once the sheet is formed it is bent over a

polished metal roll and carried away horizontally into a lehr. Float glass, Figured and Wired glass are not

covered within the scope of Product under Consideration.

Product under Consideration is classified under the heading “Glass and Glassware” in Chapter 70 and

further under 7004.20.The classification at 8 digit level is 70042011 and 70042019. The classification, is only

indicative and in no way binding on the scope of the present investigation.

Like Article

Petitioner has claimed that the subject goods, which are being dumped into India, are identical to the

goods produced by the domestic industry. There are no differences either in the technical specifications,

functions or end-uses of the dumped imports and the domestically produced subject goods. The two are

technically and commercially substitutable and hence should be treated as ‘like articles’ under the Anti

Dumping Rules. Therefore for the purpose of present investigation the subject goods produced by the applicant

in India are being treated as like article to the subject goods being imported from subject country

¹Hkkx Iµ[k.M 1º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % vlk/kj.k

Domestic Industry & ‘Standing’

The Application has been filed by M/s Bharat Glass Tube Limited Ankaleshwar , who has claimed

that they are the sole producer of the product under consideration. The Authority, therefore, determines that

the applicant constitutes domestic industry within the meaning of the Rule 2 (b) and the application satisfies

the criteria of standing in terms of Rule 5 (3) of the Rules supra..

Subject Country

The country involved in the present investigation is China PR .

Normal Value

The Petitioners have submitted that China PR should be treated as a non-market economy and the

normal value should be determined in accordance with para-7 of Annexure-I to the Rules. The petitioners have

claimed normal value of subject goods on the basis of cost of production in India, duly adjusted stating that

information relating to cost or price in a market economy third country is not available. The Authority has

prima-facie considered the normal value of subject goods in subject country on the basis of constructed values

as made available by the applicants for the purpose of this initiation.

Export Price

The applicant has claimed export prices on the basis of data obtained from DGCI&S. Price

adjustments have been allowed on account of Ocean freight, marine insurance, inland transportation,

commission, bank charges, port handling and port charges etc. to arrive at the net export price.

Dumping Margin

Normal value and export price have been compared at ex-factory level, which shows prima facie

significant dumping margin in respect of the subject country. There is sufficient prima facie evidence that the

normal value of the subject goods in the subject country are significantly higher than the ex-factory export

price, indicating, prima facie, that the subject goods are being dumped into the Indian market by the exporters

from the subject country. The dumping margins so estimated are above de minimus.

Injury and Causal Link

10.

Information of petitioners has been considered for assessment of injury to the domestic industry. The

Petitioners have furnished evidence regarding the ‘injury’ having taken place as a result of the alleged

dumping in the form of increased volume of dumped imports in absolute terms and in relation to production

and consumption in India, significant price undercutting and price depression and consequent significant

adverse impact in terms of production, capacity utilization, domestic sales volumes, inventories, market share,

profits, return on capital employed, and cash flow for the domestic industry. There is sufficient evidence of the

‘injury’ being suffered by the domestic industry caused by dumped imports from subject country to justify

initiation of an antidumping investigation.

Initiation of Investigation

11.

The Authority finds prima facie that sufficient evidence of dumping of the subject goods originating

in or exported from the subject country, ‘injury’ to the domestic industry and causal link between the alleged

dumping and ‘injury’ exist to justify initiation of an anti-dumping investigation; the Authority hereby initiates

an investigation into the alleged dumping, and consequent injury to the domestic industry in terms of the Rules

5 of the AD Rules, to determine the existence, degree and effect of alleged dumping and to recommend the

amount of antidumping duty, which if levied would be adequate to remove the ‘injury’ to the domestic

industry.

Period of Investigation

12.

The period of investigation (POI) for the purpose of present investigation is 1st July 2012 to 30th

June 2013 (12 months). However, for the purpose of injury investigation, the period will cover the data of

previous three years, i.e. April 2010 to March2011, April 2011 to March 2012, April 2012 to March-2013 and

the period of investigation (POI).

13.

The known exporters in the subject country and their Governments through their Embassies,

importers and users in India known to be concerned and the domestic industry are being informed separately to

enable them to file all information relevant in the form and manner prescribed. Any other interested party may
