Countervailing duties on subsidised imports may be imposed to offset foreign subsidies harming domestic industry. Section 9 empowers the Central Government to impose a countervailing duty, up to the amount of a foreign subsidy (broadly defined), on imports where such subsidy benefits exported articles. The Government may provisionally impose and later adjust duties, require notifications to Parliament, exempt 100% export oriented units and SEZs unless specified, and will only levy duties where the subsidy relates to export performance, use of domestic goods in export articles, or is conferred on a limited number of persons. Anti circumvention and absorption adjustments, retrospective levies for massive injury, five year duration with review extensions, and application of Customs Act procedures are provided.
