FOREWORD

Providing timely assistance to Indian Producers and Exporters in Trade Remedial
investigations conducted by our trading partners is one of the key reason behind the
formation of Trade Defence Wing, formerly known as “CVD Cell” in the Directorate
General of Trade Remedies (DGTR).

2. The Trade Defence Wing coordinates with various stakeholders and ensures that
appropriate responses based on duly substantiated facts, are led within stipulated
time and in conformity with the well- established WTO norms and procedures. This
requires collection of information from various agencies such as Export Promotion
Councils, Industry Associations, Departments of State Governments and Government
of India. This Handbook lays down the operating procedures to ensure that all
stakeholders work in tandem and participate fully in trade remedial investigations
against exports originating from India.

3. I congratulate the ofcers of the Trade Defence Wing, who have worked hard to
prepare this Handbook in a very short period of time. In particular, the efforts of
Shri Rajneesh, Joint Secretary, Shri J. M. Bishnoi, Deputy Director, Ms. Arti Bangia,
Deputy Director, Shri Vivek Jayaswal, Section Ofcer and Ms. Radhika Sharma,
Legal Consultant are praiseworthy.
