The Finance Ministry has imposed definitive anti-dumping duty on coumarin imports from China.
Coumarin is an aroma chemical, which can be in the form of white crystals, flake or powder. It has a characteristic odour of newly mown hay and bittersweet somewhat similar to vanilla.
It is used in the preparation of fragrance compounds and those fragrance compounds are used in the production of soaps, detergents, cosmetics, incense sticks, and fine fragrances.
Coumarin imparts pleasant fragrance and masks unpleasant odours in many other household and industrial products.
Based on the recommendations of the Designated Authority in the Commerce Ministry, the revenue department has imposed definitive anti-dumping duty equivalent to the difference between $ 14.02 per kilogram and the “landed value” per kilogram.
This anti-dumping duty will be valid for a period of five years. Aims Impex Pvt Ltd had filed the petition seeking sunset review investigation on coumarin imports from China.
