[PART I—SEC. 1]

MINISTRY OF COMMERCE & INDUSTRY

(Department of Commerce)

(DIRECTORATE GENERAL OF ANTI DUMPING & ALLIED DUTIES)

NOTIFICATION

New Delhi, the 22nd January, 2014

Subject : Initiation of Anti-Dumping Investigation concerning imports of “Poly Vinyl Chloride Paste/Emulsion

Resin originating in or exported from Norway and Mexico.

No. 14/5/2013-DGAD.—M/s Chemplast Sanmar Limited Chennai have 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 the 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 Poly Vinyl Chloride Paste Resin’ (PVC Paste Resin) (hereinafter also referred to as the subject

goods) originating in or exported from Norway and Mexico (hereinafter also referred to as the subject countries).

AND WHEREAS, the Authority finds that sufficient evidence of dumping of the subject goods originating in

or exported from the subject countries; ‘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 any alleged dumping and to recommend the amount of anti-dumping

duty, which if levied, would be adequate to remove the ‘injury’ to the domestic industry.

Domestic Industry & Standing

The petition has been filed by M/s Chemplast Sanmar Limited Chennai. There is one more producer namely

M/s Finolex Industries Limited, of the subject product in India. M/s Finolex Industries Limited has supported the

petition. The petitioner has certified that they have neither imported the product under consideration, nor they are

related to any importer or exporter of the product under consideration. The Authority after examining the information

on record determines that the applicant companies constitute domestic Industry within the meaning of the Rule 2(b)

and the application satisfies the criteria of standing in terms of Rule 5 of the Rules supra.

Product under consideration

Product under consideration is ‘Poly Vinyl Chloride Paste Resin” also called “Emulsion PVC Resin” and

referred to as PVC paste resin (hereinafter also referred to as the subject product or the subject goods). There are

primarily two types of PVC resins, namely PVC Paste Resin and PVC Suspension Resin. All grades of Poly Vinyl

Chloride Paste Resin” also called “Emulsion PVC Resin” and referred to as PVC paste resin are subject matter of

present investigation and are within the scope of product under consideration

However PVC Suspension Resin, PVC Blending Resin, co-polymers of the PVC Paste Resin and Battery

Separator Resins are excluded from the ambit and scope of this investigation.

The PVC Paste Resin is produced from Vinyl Chloride Monomer (VCM). VCM is produced using EDC,

which in turn requires chlorine as one of the major products. The subject goods is produced and sold in the form of

white/off-white powder. The properties of the subject goods are described in terms of K value, inherent viscosity,

particle size retention, heat loss, initial BFB etc.

The subject goods fall under Chapter 39 of the Act under subheading no. 39042210. However, the Customs

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

Like Articles

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

countries and that produced by the petitioner. Subject goods produced by the domestic industry and imported from

subject countries are comparable in terms of essential product characteristics such as physical & chemical

characteristics, manufacturing process & technology, functions & uses, product specifications, pricing, distribution &

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

technically and commercially substitutable. Hence, should be treated as ‘like article’ under the AD Rules.

Therefore, for the purpose of the present investigation, the Authority treats the subject goods produced by the

petitioner in India as ‘Like Article’ to the subject goods being imported from the subject countries.

Subject Country

The present application has been filed in respect of alleged dumping of the product under consideration from

Norway and Mexico (hereinafter referred to as subject countries).

¹Hkkx Iµ[k.M 1º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % vlk/kj.k

Normal value

Petitioners have submitted that efforts were made to get information/evidence of price of subject goods in the

domestic market of subject countries as well as export price to third countries. However they could not get adequate

and accurate information on transaction price either for the domestic market of the subject countries or for exports to

other countries. Therefore Petitioners have constructed normal value based on the data of domestic industry and

international price of major raw material, best consumption norm and reasonable profit margin.

Export Price

The applicants have claimed export price for product under consideration based on DGCIS data to assess the

volume and value of imports in India. Price adjustments have been made on account of ocean freight, marine

insurance, port expenses and Inland transportation in the country of export, to arrive at the net export price

Dumping Margin

The Petitioner has provided sufficient evidence that the normal values of the subject goods in the subject

countries are significantly higher than the net export prices, prima-facie, indicating that the subject goods originating

in or exported from the subject countries are being dumped, to justify initiation of an antidumping investigation.

Injury and Causal Link

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

Petitioner has 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 profits,

return on capital employed, and cash flow for the domestic industry. The Authority considers that there is sufficient

evidence of the ‘injury’ being suffered by the domestic industry caused by dumped imports from subject countries to

justify initiation of an antidumping investigation.

Period of Investigation

The period of investigation for the present investigation is proposed from 1st April, 2012 to 30th June, 2013

(15 Months). However, the injury investigation period will cover the periods April 2009-March 2010, April 2010-

March 2011, April 2011 to March 2012 and the proposed Period of Investigation (POI).

Submission of information

The known exporters in the subject countries and the Government of subject countries through its Embassy in

India, 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 also

make its submissions relevant to the investigation within the time-limit set out below and write to:

The Designated Authority

Directorate General of Anti-Dumping and Allied Duties

Department of Commerce

Room No.240, Udyog Bhawan,

Time limit

above address not later than 40 days from the date of this notification. If no information is received within the

prescribed time limit or the information received is incomplete, the Authority may record its findings on the basis
