Fitting Response: India Steel Taxes Hold Steady
Published Date: 4/15/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce decided to keep the extra taxes (countervailing duties) on forged steel fittings from India because removing them could let unfair government help continue. This means U.S. makers of these steel parts stay protected from cheaper imports. The decision started April 15, 2026, keeping the playing field fair and supporting American jobs and businesses.
