The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) has imposed an anti-dumping duty on titanium dioxide imports from China, with exemptions notified for specific sectors relating to food, pharma, skin-care, textiles, fibre, nano or ultrafine titanium dioxide.
Notification No. 12/2025-Customs (ADD) dated 10.05.2025 recommended the imposition of Anti-Dumping Duty (ADD) on imports of “Titanium Dioxide” originating in or exported from China PR. The said notification has recommended that Anti Dumping Duty be levied only for specified end uses, and excludes from its scope Titanium Dioxide for use in products covered under its description relating to food, pharma, skin-care, textile, fibre, or nano or ultra fine titanium dioxide.
To ensure that ADD is not collected on “Titanium Dioxide” originating in or exported from China PR when imported for use in excluded sectors and to facilitate smooth clearance of those importers importing goods for use in those excluded products, a facility is being introduced in Bill of Entry to make an electronic declaration for those importers importing for use in such excluded products, as follows:
“I / we declare that the goods imported are for use in products of description excluded in terms of NotificationNo. 12/2025- Customs (ADD) dated 10.05.2025 relating to food, pharma, skin-care, textiles, fibre, nano or ultrafine titanium dioxide.Without prejudice to any other action taken under the Customs Act or under Customs Tariff Act, I/we undertake to pay applicable Anti-Dumping Duty along with interest, if any, in case the goods are supplied for use in products not excluded in terms of Notification No. 12/2025- Customs (ADD) dated 10.05.2025.”
To enable those importers of Titanium di-oxide for use in those excluded products/sectors in terms of the notification, to make electronic declaration during BE filing, DG (Systems) shall issue suitable advisory relating to system implementation. The officers under your jurisdiction may be sensitized on the facility.
