Q.25. If an application seeking imposition of anti-dumping duty or safeguard duty
is rejected, can a fresh application be filed immediately? If not, then after how
many days can a fresh application be filed?

Ans. There is no prohibition under WTO Agreement or Indian Rules for a domestic
industry to file application immediately after the previous application has been rejected
without initiation of investigation. Similarly, if the investigation was initiated, but
terminated without recommending any measures; a fresh application can be filed without
any time gap, though WTO member countries believe that there should be some “cooling
period” before a fresh application can be accepted. However, in practice, there is likely to
be gap of about 12 months before a fresh application is filed due to the time taken in
obtaining fresh import data and completion of various processes required in filing a duly
documented application as per extant Rules and Trade Notices.

Q.26. Where are the duty notifications issued by the Department of Revenue
available?

Ans. These are available on the website of CBIC at http://www.cbic.gov.in/Customs-
Notifications.

Q.27. What all informations are available on the website of DGTR?

Ans. The following information is available on the website of DGTR:
• Ongoing and concluded investigations
• Application Proforma
• Questionnaires
