On November 20, 2013, the Ministry of Commerce of the People’s Republic of China (hereinafter referred to as the "Investigation Authority" or the "MOFCOM") issued MOFCOM Announcement No. 73 of 2013, deciding to impose anti-dumping duties on imports of pyridine originating in India and Japan for five years starting from November 21, 2013.

On February 5, 2016, the Investigation Authority issued MOFCOM Announcement No. 1 of 2016, deciding to adjust the anti-dumping duty rate applicable to Jubilant Life Sciences Limited.

The Investigation Authority decided to accept the application after it examined the case.
