India Caught Selling Pipe Parts Too Cheaply, America Upset
Published Date: 1/2/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that some Indian companies sold finished carbon steel flanges in the U.S. at unfairly low prices from August 2022 to July 2023. This means these companies will face antidumping duties to level the playing field. The final results come out by April 11, 2025, affecting 14 producers and exporters, including big names like R.N. Gupta & Co. and Norma Group.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 4 costs, 0 mixed.
Final Dumping Margins Set for Indian Exporters
Commerce found dumping for shipments from August 1, 2022 through July 31, 2023 and set final weighted-average dumping margins of 0.89% for Norma Group, 3.60% for R.N. Gupta & Company Limited, and a review-specific rate of 2.54% for non-selected companies. These margins will be the basis for assessing antidumping duties on entries from that period.
Cash Deposit Rates Effective Upon Publication
Upon publication of the final results, cash deposit rates for future shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the publication date will equal the company-specific weighted-average dumping margins determined in this review (e.g., 0.89% for Norma Group, 3.60% for R.N. Gupta, 2.54% for non-selected companies), and the all-others rate remains 8.91%. These cash deposit requirements will remain in effect until further notice.
Importer Certificate Requirement—and Double Duty Risk
Importers must file a certificate regarding reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries as required by 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2). If importers fail to file the certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and assess double antidumping duties.
Reseller-Policy Assessment for Unaware Producers
For entries produced by respondents who did not know the merchandise was destined for the United States, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries under the reseller policy; the assessment rate for such entries will be the all-others rate from the investigation (8.91%) if there is no rate for intermediate companies. This affects how certain resold shipments will be assessed.
