The Central Government has extended the validity of the anti-dumping duty on imports of Normal Butanol or N-Butyl Alcohol originating in or exported from the European Union, Malaysia, Singapore, South Africa and the United States of America.
The extension has been notified vide Notification No. 02/2026-Customs (ADD) dated 8 January 2026, issued by the Ministry of Finance, Department of Revenue, and published in the Gazette of India, Extraordinary.
The anti-dumping duty, originally imposed through Notification No. 21/2021-Customs (ADD) dated 12 April 2021, was due to expire on 12 April 2026. The extension follows the initiation of a sunset review by the Designated Authority, Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR), under the provisions of Section 9A(5) of the Customs Tariff Act, 1975, read with Rule 23 of the Anti-Dumping Rules, 1995.
Based on the request of the Designated Authority for continuation of the duty during the pendency of the review investigation, the Central Government has decided that the anti-dumping duty shall remain in force up to and inclusive of 12 July 2026, unless revoked, superseded or amended earlier.
The measure is aimed at preventing injury to the domestic industry due to continued dumping of the said product and ensuring fair trade practices.
