....ducers are required to be subject to anti-dumping duties at the rates applicable to each one of the producers, irrespective of whether the goods are directly exported by the producers themselves or by an export house. This is the requirement under Rule 17(3) of the Anti-Dumping Rules. We, therefore, hold that wherever the imported goods are identified to the satisfaction of the jurisdictional Customs authorities as the produce of any of the three Japanese producers, they shall be subjected to anti-dumping duties at the rates fixed for the goods produced by those producers. This shall be the position even when the export is by or through a trading house. Accordingly, the appeal of M/s. Marubeni Corporation on this issue is allowed. 7.1. With regard to the rate of anti-dumping duty, we have already held in our order in the case of M/s. B.L.A.

We have also held in the same order that imposition of minimum anti-dumping duty is not permissible in law. Therefore, the recommendations in the final findings insofar as they relate to imposition of ....
