India Imposes Anti-Dumping Duties on
Ball Bearings from Four Countries

NOTE (May 14, 2003):

The dumping decision and press notification in this case, apparently issued by India's Directorate General of Anti-Dumping and Allied Duties, may in fact be a hoax.

In the past, the DGAD has been the victim of several hoaxes and false press releases. Due to that history and the importance of reporting accuracy, we have pulled this article pending a further clarification by the DGAD.

Thank you for your understanding.

About the Directorate General of Anti-Dumping and Allied Duties

Although national laws covering anti-dumping have been in place since 1985, India's Directorate General of Anti-Dumping and Allied Duties was only set up in 1998 as a subordinate office of India's Ministry of Commerce and Industry.

The DGAD is responsible for carrying out investigations and to recommend the amount of anti-dumping duty on the identified article which would be adequate to remove injury to the domestic industry. The DGAD is headed by an officer of the rank and status of Additional Secretary to the Government of India as the Designated Authority (DA).

The DA heads a direct staff of 12: a Joint Secretary, Director, 6 Investigating Officers and 4 Costing Officers.

While India's first anti-dumping complaint was filed in 1992, in 2001-2002, 30 cases were initiated. India is the third most active user of anti-dumping action, according to WTO statistics, after the United States and Canada.
