The Government of India has imposed a countervailing duty on “Saccharin in all its forms” (tariff item 2925 11 00) originating in or exported from China PR  and imported into India to prevent continued subsidization and injury to the domestic industry. 

Key Provisions: 

1. Duty Imposed: 20% of the CIF value on imports from China PR. 
2. Effective Period: Five years from the date of publication, unless revoked or amended earlier. 
3. Exchange Rate: Determined as per the exchange rate notified under Section 14 of the Customs Act, 1962, applicable on the date of the bill of entry. 
4. Supersession: Replaces Notification No. 2/2019-Customs (CVD) dated 30th August 2019. 
5. Payment: Duty to be paid in Indian currency.
    

This measure follows the final findings of the designated authority (Notification No. 7/34/2023-DGTR, dated 27th November 2024), confirming that discontinuation of the duty would lead to recurrence of subsidization and injury to Indian manufacturers.
