Appellate Tribunal sets aside anti-dumping duties

Anti-Dumping Appellate Tribunal sets aside anti-dumping duties imposed by NTC on hydrogen peroxide from Bangladesh.

We recently acted for a Bangladeshi exporter challenging the decision of the National Tariff Commission (NTC) to continue the imposition of anti-dumping duties on imports of hydrogen peroxide from Bangladesh before the Anti-Dumping Appellate Tribunal.

The NTC had initially imposed anti-dumping duties on imports of hydrogen peroxide from Bangladesh for five years, starting in October 2015. On the conclusion of sunset review proceedings in October 2021, the NTC decided to continue the imposition of duties for a further five-year period.

We challenged the NTC’s determination as contrary to the Anti-Dumping Duties Act 2015 mandate and Pakistan’s commitments under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade and the Anti-Dumping Agreement. The Tribunal agreed with our client’s position and set aside the imposition by the NTC of the duties in the sunset review.

Our team in this matter was led by partner Mazhar Bangash. It also comprised associate Momin Taufiq.
