or  (b) a Government grants or maintains any form of income or price support, which operates directly or indirectly to increase export of any goods from, or to reduce import of any goods to its territory, and a benefit is thereby conferred.  (2) The Government may, pending the determination of the amount of subsidy, in accordance with the provisions of this section and the rules made thereunder impose a countervailing duty under this sub-section not exceeding the amount of such subsidy as provisionally estimated by it and if such countervailing duty exceeds the subsidy as so determined,-  (a) the Government shall, having regard to such determination and as soon as may be after such determination reduce such countervailing duty; and  (b) refund shall be made of so much of such countervailing duty which has been collected as is in excess of the countervailing duty as so reduced.  (3) Subject to any rules made by the Government, by notification in the official Gazette, the countervailing duty under sub-section (1) or sub-section (2) shall not be levied unless it is determined that-  (a) the subsidy relates to export performance;  (b) the subsidy relates to the use of domestic raw materials over imported raw materials in the exported goods;

or  (ii) assistance to disadvantaged regions within the territory of the exporting country; or  (iii) assistance to promote adaptation of existing facilities to new environmental requirements.  (4) If the Government, is of the opinion that the injury to the domestic industry which is difficult to repair, is caused by massive imports in a relatively short period, of the goods benefiting from subsidies paid or bestowed and where in order to preclude the recurrence of such injury, it is necessary to levy countervailing duty retrospectively, the Government may, by notification in the official Gazette, impose countervailing duty from a date prior to the date of imposition of countervailing duty under sub-section (2) but not beyond ninety days from the date of notification under that sub-section and notwithstanding anything contained in any law for the time being in force, such duty shall be payable from the date as specified in the notification issued under this sub-section.  (5) The countervailing duty chargeable under this section shall be in addition to any other duty imposed under this Act or any other law for the time being in force.  (6) The countervailing duty imposed under this section shall unless revoked earlier, cease to have effect on the expiry of five years from the date of such imposition:  Provided that if the Government, in a review, is of the opinion that the cessation of such duty is likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of subsidisation and injury, it may, from time to time, extend the period of such imposition for a further period of five years and such further period shall commence from the date of order of such extension :  Provided further that where a review initiated before the expiry of the aforesaid period of five years has not come to a conclusion before such expiry, the countervailing duty may continue to remain in force pending outcome of such a review for a further period not exceeding one year.  (7) The amount of any subsidy referred to in sub-section (1) or sub-section (2) shall, from time to time, be ascertained and determined by the Government, after such inquiry as it may consider necessary and the Government may, by notification in the official Gazette, make rules for the identification of such goods and for the assessment and collection of any countervailing duty imposed upon the importation thereof under this section.  (8) No proceeding for imposition of countervailing duty under this section shall commence unless the Bangladesh Tariff Commission, on receipt of a written application by or on behalf of a domestic industry, informs the Government that there is prima-facie evidence of injury which is caused by direct or indirect subsidy on any particular imported goods.  18B.

or  (ii) when there are no sales of the like goods in the ordinary course of trade in the domestic market of the exporting country or territory, or, when because of the particular market situation or low volume of the sales in the domestic market of the exporting country or territory, such sales do not permit a proper comparison the normal value shall be either-  (a) comparable representative price of the like goods when exported from the exporting country or territory or an appropriate third country as determined in accordance with the rules made under sub-section (6); or  (b) the cost of production of the said goods in the country of origin along with reasonable addition for administrative, selling and general costs and for profits, as determined in accordance with the rules made under sub-section (6) :  Provided that in the case of import of the goods from a country other than the country of origin and where the goods have been merely transhipped through the country of export or such goods are not produced in the country of export or there is no comparable price in the country of export, the normal value shall be determined with reference to the price in country of origin.  (2) The Government may, pending the determination of the normal value and the margin of dumping in relation to any goods, in accordance with the provisions of this section and the rules made thereunder, impose on the importation of such goods into Bangladesh an anti-dumping duty on the basis of a provisional estimate of such value and margin and if such anti-dumping duty exceeds the margin as so determined-  (a) the Government shall, having regard to such determination and as soon as may be after such determination, reduce such anti-dumping duty; and  (b) refund shall be made of so much of the anti-dumping duty which has been collected as is in excess of anti-dumping duty as so reduced.  (3) if the Government, in respect of the dumped goods under inquiry, is of the opinion that-  (i) there is a history of dumping which caused injury or that the importer was, or should have been, aware that the exporter practices dumping and that such dumping would cause injury; and  (ii) the injury is caused by massive dumping of goods imported in a relatively short time which in light of the timing and the volume of imported goods dumped and other circumstances, is likely to seriously undermine the remedial effect of the anti-dumping duty liable to be levied, the Government may, by notification in the official Gazette, levy anti-dumping duty retrospectively from a date prior to the date of imposition of anti-dumping duty under sub-section (2) but not beyond ninety days from the date of notification under that sub-section and notwithstanding anything contained in any law for the time being in force, such duty shall be payable at such rate and from such date as may be specified in the notification.  (4) The anti-dumping duty chargeable under this section shall be in addition to any other duty imposed under this Act or any other law for the time being in force.  (5) The anti-dumping duty imposed under this section shall, unless revoked earlier, cease to have effect on the expiry of five years from the date of such imposition:  Provided that if the Government, in a review, is of the opinion that the cessation of such duty is likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping and injury, it may, from time to time, extend the period of such imposition for a further period of five years and such further period shall commence from the date of order of such extension :  Provided further that where a review initiated before the expiry of the aforesaid period of five years has not come to a conclusion before such expiry, the anti-dumping duty may continue to remain in force pending the outcome of such a review for a further period not exceeding one year.  (6) The margin of dumping as referred to in sub-section (1) or sub-section (2) shall, from time to time, as ascertained and determined by the Government after such inquiry as it may consider necessary and the Government may, by notification in the official Gazette, make rules for the purposes of this section and without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, such rules may provide for the manner in which goods liable for any anti-dumping duty under this section may be identified and for the manner in which the export price and the normal value of and the margin of dumping in relation to such goods may be determined and for the assessment and collection of such anti-dumping duty.  (7) No proceeding for imposition of anti-dumping duty under this section shall commence unless the Bangladesh Tariff Commission, on receipt of a written application by or on behalf of a domestic industry, informs the Government that there is prima-facie evidence of injury which is caused by dumping on any particular imported goods.  18C.
