Indian Pigment Makers Face Fairness Taxes After Review
Published Date: 12/31/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that some Indian makers of carbazole violet pigment 23 got unfair government help in 2022. Because of this, certain extra taxes (called countervailing duties) will apply to their products to keep things fair for U.S. businesses. The final decision came out on December 31, 2025, after some delays caused by a government shutdown.

2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
20.55% Deposit for Non‑Reviewed Imports
CBP will collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties on shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the date of publication of these final results (applicable December 31, 2025). For non‑reviewed companies, Commerce directs CBP to continue collecting deposits at the most recent company-specific or the all-others rate of 20.55%, and these cash deposits will remain in effect until further notice.
Duties on Three Indian Pigment Makers
If you import carbazole violet pigment-23 from the named Indian producers, Commerce found countervailable subsidies and assigned ad valorem rates of 3.28% for Gharda Chemicals, Ltd., 5.51% for Meghmani Pigments, and 4.40% for Navpad Pigments Pvt. Ltd. These rates apply to merchandise covered by the review for the period January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022 and are applicable as of December 31, 2025; Commerce will instruct Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess duties and intends to issue assessment instructions no earlier than 35 days after publication.
