Anti-Dumping Duty Notification Details

The Ministry of Finance (Department of Revenue) issued Notification No. 41/2025-Customs (ADD) dated December 31, 2025, imposing anti-dumping duty on imports of Low Ash Metallurgical Coke. The notification covers coke originating from or exported from six countries.
