Product Description– The product under consideration is Saccharin.

HS Codes– The product under consideration has a dedicated tariff code which is 29251100.

Uses– Used in food as an artificial sweetener, and pharmaceuticals.

Countries involved– China PR

Applicants– Blue Jet Healthcare Ltd. and Swati Petro Products Ltd.

Period of Investigation– 1st October 2022 to 30th September 2022

Injury Period– 2020-21, 2021-22, 2022-23, and the period of investigation

Facts of the present case– The application was filed due to continued subsidisation of imports of Saccharin from China. The domestic industry submitted evidence which demonstrated that there is likelihood of continuation or recurrence of subsidisation and consequent injury in view of the volume and market share of the subject imports, present decline in the performance of the domestic industry and the likely adverse impact of cessation of duty. In addition, the domestic industry also alleged additional programs and schemes that were not examined in the original investigation.
