The period of investigation for the review will be April 2015 to September 2016.
Anti-dumping duty was first imposed on imports of nylon filament yarn from China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Korea vide a department of revenue notification dated August 29, 2006. Post first sunset review in 2011, the duties were imposed in January 2012.
