What is Anti-Dumping Duty and When Does It Apply?
Anti-dumping duty (ADD) is a form of customs duty imposed on imported goods that are being sold in India at a price below their normal value in the country of export (dumping), causing material injury to the domestic Indian industry that produces the same or similar goods. ADD investigations are initiated and conducted by DGTR (Directorate General of Trade Remedies) and, upon positive determination, ADD is notified by the Ministry of Finance via a customs notification.
ADD is product-specific, country-specific, and often producer-specific — meaning the same product from different producers in the same country may attract different rates. Countervailing Duty (CVD) is the equivalent measure for subsidised imports. Importers must identify all applicable ADD and CVD notifications for their product before import, compute the correct duty rate, and pay accordingly at customs clearance. Incorrect or missed ADD payment is a serious customs violation attracting penalty and interest.

What We Offer
Different service options and categories available through CargoMate.
ADD Notification Review
Systematic review of all applicable ADD and CVD customs notifications for your specific product HS code, country of origin, and producer identity to identify all applicable duties.
Duty Rate Computation
Accurate computation of ADD and CVD duty amounts by applying the correct notification rates — which vary by country, producer, and often by form of duty (ad valorem, specific, or combination).
Import Port Clearance
Coordination of customs import clearance for ADD-affected goods — correct notification reference on Bill of Entry, ADD payment challan, and assessment documentation.
DGTR Representation
Preparation and filing of representations before DGTR for New User Facility (NUF) applications, new shipper reviews, and exemption applications on behalf of importers.
NUF Application
New User Facility application for importers who were not parties to the original ADD investigation and seek a product-specific ADD rate based on their own supplier's costs.
ADD Refund Claims
Filing of ADD refund applications with customs where excess ADD has been paid, for example after a successful NUF or exemption approval reduces the applicable rate retroactively.
Our Process
A clear step-by-step approach from initial enquiry to final delivery.
Product and Origin Assessment
We identify your product HS code, country of origin, and overseas producer or exporter to determine applicable ADD and CVD notifications.
Notification Review
All current and active ADD and CVD notifications are reviewed to identify which ones apply, what rate applies to your specific producer, and when the notification expires.
Duty Impact Assessment
We compute the total duty impact including ADD — providing a pre-shipment landed cost calculation to help you plan the import.
Advance Planning
Where ADD significantly impacts viability, we advise on alternative sourcing countries, NUF options, or other duty mitigation strategies.
Port Clearance
We prepare the Bill of Entry with correct ADD notification reference and ADD duty computation, coordinate payment, and manage customs assessment.
DGTR Representation
For NUF applications or exemptions, we compile the required cost and pricing data and file before DGTR.

Why Choose CargoMate?
Experienced, reliable, and focused on your specific requirements.
Live Notification Database
We maintain a continuously updated database of all active ADD and CVD notifications for common import products — saving you the time of manual research.
Producer-Specific Rate Application
ADD notifications often have residual rates for all producers and lower specific rates for individually named producers who cooperated in the investigation. Applying the wrong rate means paying too much or too little.
Pre-Shipment Impact Assessment
ADD can make an import economically unviable. We provide pre-shipment duty impact analysis so you can make informed sourcing decisions before committing to a purchase.
DGTR Representation Experience
NUF applications require detailed technical and commercial submissions to DGTR. We prepare these submissions with the required cost and pricing data.
Customs Clearance Accuracy
ADD declarations on the Bill of Entry must be precise. Understating ADD is a customs violation; overstating means you overpay. We compute and declare accurately.
Refund Opportunity Identification
Where ADD has been paid in excess — due to NUF approval or notification revision — we identify refund opportunities and file refund claims with customs.
