NBR is used in the manufacture of various rubber articles where resistance to oil, abrasion and heat

applications are involved, such as oil seals, hoses, automotive products, gaskets, rice de-husking rolls, printers,

fabrics, oilfield products, etc. The major raw materials required for NBR are Acrylonitrile and Butadiene. Different

grades of NBR are defined in terms of mooney viscosity and acrylonitrile content. The subject goods produced by

domestic industry are used interchangeably with those imported from the subject countries.

6. Petitioner has claimed that there is no known difference between the subject goods exported from the

subject country and that produced by the petitioner. Subject goods produced by the domestic industry and imported

from the subject country are comparable in terms of essential product characteristics such as physical and chemical

characteristics, manufacturing process and technology, functions and uses, product specifications, pricing,

distribution and marketing and tariff classification of the goods. Consumers can use and are using the two

interchangeably. The two are technically and commercially substitutable. The Authority considers that NBR

produced by the domestic industry is like article to that imported from the subject country for the purpose of

present investigation.

to continuation or recurrence of dumping and injury to the domestic industry.
