Commerce Ministry to help exporters maintain proper documentation to deal with U.S. countervailing duty cases
The HinduThe Commerce Ministry has started an exercise to help Indian exporters keep proper documentation to deal with U.S. countervailing duty cases on domestic products, an official said. The U.S. has conducted countervailing investigations and submitted final determination on three Indian products – paper file folders, common alloy aluminium sheet, and forged steel fluid end blocks. The official said that products which the U.S. have investigated involved reimbursement of levies like electricity duty, VAT on fuel or APMC taxes. So what we are trying to do is that in association with the DGTR and their team, we are now trying to sensitise exporters about the kind of documentation which they need to maintain to satisfy the US investigating authorities," the official who did not wish to be named said.
