Amendment to Anti-Dumping Duty Order on Industrial Laser Machines from China

On April 8, 2026, the Ministry of Finance (Department of Revenue) issued Notification No. 04/2026-Customs (ADD), amending the anti-dumping duty order on certain industrial laser machines originating from China. This article provides a detailed overview of the notification, its background, and implications for stakeholders.

Background

The subject goods under this notification are industrial laser machines used for cutting, marking, or welding. These goods fall under tariff items 84561100, 84569090, 85152190, 85158090, and 90132000 of the First Schedule to the Customs Tariff Act, 1975. The anti-dumping duty was initially imposed following the final findings of the designated authority, as per Notification No. 15/2023-Customs (ADD), dated December 22, 2023. This measure was taken to counteract the dumping of these goods from China, which was causing injury to the domestic industry.

Key Amendments

The recent notification addresses a specific amendment related to the name change of a producer/exporter from China. The designated authority, through Notification No. 7/24/2025-DGTR dated January 28, 2026, considered a request from the producercBystronic (Shenzhen) Laser Technology Co., Ltd to change its name to DNE LASER (Guangdong) Co., Ltd.. After thorough examination, the authority concluded that there were no changes in the shareholders, share capital, ownership, management, legal status, or structure of the entity. Consequently, the authority recommended updating the name in the original anti-dumping duty notification.

Official Amendment

The Central Government, exercising its powers under sub-sections (1) and (5) of Section 9A of the Customs Tariff Act, 1975, and in accordance with the Customs Tariff (Identification, Assessment and Collection of Anti-dumping Duty on Dumped Articles and for Determination of Injury) Rules, 1995, has made the following amendment:

In Notification No. 15/2023-Customs (ADD), dated December 22, 2023, the entry Bystronic (Shenzhen) Laser Technology Co., Ltd in the table under Serial Number 5, Column (6), has been substituted with DNE LASER (Guangdong) Co., Ltd.

Implications

This amendment ensures that the anti-dumping duty order remains accurate and reflects the current legal identity of the producer/exporter. It also highlights the government’s commitment to maintaining transparency and up-to-date records in trade regulations. For importers and stakeholders, it is crucial to note this change to avoid any compliance issues when dealing with industrial laser machines originating from China.

Conclusion

The amendment to the anti-dumping duty order is a procedural update that aligns the notification with the latest findings of the designated authority. Stakeholders are advised to review the updated notification and ensure adherence to the revised regulations. For further details, refer to Notification No. 04/2026-Customs (ADD), dated April 8, 2026, and related documents published in the Gazette of India.
