A. Background
1. The Directorate General of Trade Remedies (hereinafter referred to as “the Authority”)
conducted an anti-dumping investigation concerning imports of Industrial Laser Machines used for
cutting, marking or welding (hereinafter referred to as “PUC” or “subject goods”) originating in or
exported from China PR and issued Final Findings Notification dated 27.09.2023 in Case No. ADD-
OI-07/2022. The Central Government imposed the duty recommended by the Authority vide
Customs Notification No. 15/2023-Customs (ADD) dated 22.12.2023.
2. During the original investigation, Bystronic (Shenzhen) Laser Technology Co., Ltd., along
with Bystronic (Tianjin) Laser Ltd. and Bystronic Laser AG, participated as part of the Bystronic
Group, and a cooperating rate of duty was determined and recommended by the Authority for the
group.
3. The Authority received a duly substantiated application for change of name from DNE
LASER (Guangdong) Co., Ltd., previously known as Bystronic (Shenzhen) Laser Technology Co.,
Ltd., filed in accordance with Trade Notice No. 12/2018 dated 17th September, 2018. The applicant
submitted that the name of the company was changed with effect from 11th August, 2025 and that
the said change is only a change of name as a matter of record, without involving any change in
ownership, shareholding pattern, management, principal activities, business entity, legal relations,
production facilities, operations, legal identity, Unified Social Credit Code or registered address. It
was further submitted that the applicant continues to produce and export the subject goods.
4. Supporting documentary evidence, including registration certificates, business licenses
before and after name change, shareholder details, articles of association, and statutory documents
issued by the Government of China, was submitted along with the application.
B. Procedure
5. In accordance with Trade Notice No. 12/2018, the Authority, via an email dated
16th December 2025, circulated the Non-Confidential Version (NCV) of the name change
application to all registered interested parties who had participated in the original investigation, and
provided all interested parties time of 10 days to file any comments/objections on the application
for name change.
6. No comments or objections were received from any interested party within the prescribed
time period. Hence, there is no need for an Oral Hearing to be conducted in this matter.
C. Submissions of the applicant
7. The applicant changed its name from Bystronic (Shenzhen) Laser Technology Ltd. Co.,
(hereinafter referred to as “Bystronic”) to DNE LASER (Guangdong) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred
to as “DNE”) with effect from August 11, 2025. The objective of the name change was to achieve
business expansion and brand upgradation of the company across the world. The present name
change is a simple change in the name of the entity without any alteration in the legal status of the
entity. The company announced the name change on August 18, 2025. The application for name
change was filed on the SETU portal on November 7, 2025, within the 90-day period stipulated in
Trade Notice No. 12/2018.
8. There are no changes in the shareholders of the company post the name change, as may be
seen from the applicant's financial statements for the past three years, the articles of association,
and the details of the shareholders of the company.
9. Both before and after the name change, business license issued by the Government of China
specifies the same Unified Social Credit Code (USCC) and the address of the entity. Each entity in
China has a separate USCC. The USCC and address for both Bystronic (Shenzhen) and DNE are
same.
10. Post the name change, DNE retains all business operating and manufacturing activities
previously undertaken by Bystronic. There is no change in existing manufacturing sites and business
offices under DNE. All legal rights, obligations and concessions accorded to/by Bystronic remain
in full force and effect with DNE and will not be impacted by the Name Change.
11. DNE is a longstanding producer of the subject goods and continues to produce the subject
goods even after the name change. There are no changes in the name, ownership or operations of
the other two entities in the group and the group as a whole. Even after the name change, all three
companies continue to be owned by the same ultimate parent.
12. The exporter has affirmed that this is a procedural change with no impact on market
dynamics, and that the anti-dumping duty should continue to apply seamlessly to the new entity.

16. The Authority has examined all the above-mentioned documents provided by the applicant.
17. It is seen that the applicant applied for a change in its name in the prescribed form after
paying the necessary application fee before the Shenzhen Market Supervision Administration in
accordance with the applicable laws. The applicant has provided a copy of its application form. The
application form filed by the applicant provides information regarding the details of the entity, the
name of the shareholders, the address of the entity, the USCC code, and the proposed change in
name. The Authority further notes that the application for the change in name was signed by the
legal representative of the company.
18. The Authority notes that on August 11, 2025, the Shenzhen Market Supervision
Administration approved the change in name of the entity from Bystronic (Shenzhen) Laser
Technology Co., Ltd. to DNE Laser (Guangdong) Co., Ltd.. A copy of the approval, along with
English translation was filed by the applicant and has been examined by the Authority.
19. The Authority has examined the Financial Statements for the years 2024, 2023 and 2022 of
Bystronic (Shenzhen) Laser Technology Co., Ltd., and the latest shareholder information issued by
the Shenzhen Market Supervision Authority in the name of DNE Laser (Guangdong) Co., Ltd. It is
seen that the subscribed registered capital and the shareholders of the company mentioned in the
annual reports of Bystronic (Shenzhen) Laser Technology Co., Ltd. and in the latest shareholder
information of DNE Laser (Guangdong) Co., Ltd., are the same.
20. The Authority has further examined the revised Articles of Association of the entity, where
Article 5 of the Articles of Association has been modified to reflect the change in the name of the
entity from Bystronic (Shenzhen) Laser Technology Co., Ltd. to DNE Laser (Guangdong) Co., Ltd.
21. The Authority has compared the Business License issued by the Shenzhen Market
Supervision Administration to both Bystronic (Shenzhen) Laser Technology Co., Ltd. (before the
name change) and to DNE Laser (Guangdong) Co., Ltd. (after the name change). It is seen that the
USCC and the address mentioned in both business licenses are identical. The Authority notes that
USCC is a code granted by the Government of China to legal entities in China. Each legal entity has
a separate code.
22. The Authority notes that the applicant has stated that there is no change in name, ownership
or operations of the two other entities in the group and the group as a whole.
23. The examination of the documents conducted by the Authority reveals that the shareholders,
the share capital, ownership, management, legal status and structure of the entity remain the same
both before and after the name change.
24. The Authority notes that the present application is for a simple change in the name of the
entity, without any change in the legal status, ownership, shareholding, etc. of the entity. Therefore,
the present application squarely falls within the terms of Trade Notice No. 12/2018. The Authority
therefore holds that the change in the name of the entity in the duty table may be affected through
the simplified procedure as stipulated in Trade Notice No. 12/2018.
25. The Authority also notes that no objection has been raised by the domestic industry or any
other interested party to the said request. Further, paragraph 5(v) of the said trade notice states that
the Authority “may” hold an oral hearing within 30 days from the date of receipt of the application.
However, since no objections or comments were received by any interested party, and given that
documents filed by the applicants clearly indicate that this is a case of a simple name change, the
Authority notes that there is no requirement for holding an oral hearing.
26. Accordingly, the Authority hereby amends the Final Findings Notification No. 06/07/2022-
DGTR dated 27.09.2023 as follows:
At Sl. No. 5 of the Duty Table, the name of producer “Bystronic (Shenzhen) Laser Technology
Co., Ltd." be amended to be read as “DNE LASER (Guangdong) Co., Ltd.”
27. Accordingly, the Authority recommends the above change in the name in Notification No.
15/2023-Customs (ADD), dated 22nd December, 2023 as well.
28. An appeal against this notification shall lie before the Customs, Excise and Service Tax
Appellate Tribunal (CESTAT) in accordance with the provisions of the Act.
