Key findings –
- Duties were not imposed on imports of product under consideration from Nepal as the injury margin and the dumping margin were negative with respect to imports from Nepal.
- The Authority rejected the response filed by PT Indo Liberty Textiles and Asosiasi Petekstilan Indonesia Badan Pengurus Nasional as they were not in line with the requirements of Trade Notice 05/2018 dated 28th February 2018.
- As per consistent practice of the Authority, the loss incurred by unrelated traders has been adjusted in determination of export price.
- The subject imports have increased in absolute and relative terms during the period of investigation. Imports have suppressed the prices of the domestic industry and the price undercutting for all countries except Nepal was positive. The imports have adversely impacted the profitability parameters of the domestic industry, thereby causing material injury to the domestic industry.
- The Authority has noted that test of standing was satisfied at the stage of initiation as well as final findings. The Authority has accepted the support letters filed by the domestic producers of subject goods post hearing.
