		India has extended by two months the anti-dumping duty on certain cold-rolled flat steel products from four nations including China and South Korea to guard domestic industry against cheap imports.</div>
	<br>
	<div>
		The anti-dumping duty to be paid is the difference between the landed value of the steel products and $594 per tonne.</div>
	<br>
	<div>
		The duty was earlier imposed on August 17, 2016, for six months on cold-rolled flat products of alloy or non-alloy steel from China, Japan, South Korea and Ukraine.</div>
	<br>
	<div>
		The Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC) amended the August 17 notification to extend the levy of duty by two months from the present six months.</div>
	<br>
	<div>
		The anti-dumping duty was imposed on a recommendation of the Directorate General of Anti-Dumping (DGAD), an arm of Commerce Ministry.</div>
	<br>
	<div>
		The DGAD has come to the provisional conclusion that &quot;the subject goods have been exported to India from the subject countries below normal value (and) the domestic industry has suffered a material injury on account of subject imports from the subject countries,&quot; the CBEC had said.</div>
	<br>
	<div>
		Also, the injury has been caused by the dumped imports of the subject goods from the subject countries, the August 17 notification quoted the findings as saying.</div>
