Facts of the present case: The present sunset review application was filed by the Ceramic Tableware & Kitchenware Manufacturers Association, while Clay Craft India Limited and Ceramic Tableware Private Limited have provided all the relevant information in this behalf. The Applicant seeks continuation of the anti-dumping duty on imports of ceramic tableware and kitchenware, excluding knives and toilet items, from China PR and extension of measure on imports from Malaysia, in view of the likelihood of recurrence of dumping and injury in case of cessation of the duty. The applicant has claimed that, although the volume of imports from the subject countries has declined in absolute and relative terms, imports remain significant and account for 21% of demand in India in the POI. The price undercutting from the subject countries is positive and significant, and the landed price of imports remains even below the cost of sales of the applicant. Further, capacity utilisation has declined and significant capacity is unutilized, despite the increase in demand and the inventories has also increased significantly over the period. The dumping margin is above de minimis and significant. Furthermore, the applicant claimed that there is a likelihood of continuation or recurrence of dumping and injury in the event of cessation of the anti-dumping duty, as the producers in China PR hold large and expanding production capacities, with spare capacity of over 16 billion pieces, and are highly export oriented. Exports from China face anti-dumping duties in several other jurisdictions, and a significant share of exports to third countries is at prices below the estimated normal value of the domestic industry. The applicant also cited the history of circumvention through Malaysia and the state support received by Chinese producers. The information furnished by the applicant prima facie shows continuation of dumping from the subject countries and the likelihood of continuation or recurrence of dumping and injury to the domestic industry in case of cessation of the anti-dumping duty.
