Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that overhead door springs from India are being sold in the U.S. for less than their fair price. This means importers might face extra duties starting December 31, 2025, to keep things fair for American businesses. The investigation covered sales from October 2023 to September 2024, and the decision comes after the main Indian company stopped cooperating.
Analyzed Economic Effects

Final Finding of Dumping from India
The Department of Commerce determined that overhead door counterbalance torsion springs from India were sold in the U.S. at less than fair value for the period October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024. This final affirmative determination is applicable December 31, 2025 and can lead to an antidumping duty order if the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) makes a final affirmative injury finding.
Assigned Dumping Margins and Cash Deposit Rates
Commerce assigned estimated weighted-average dumping margins of 126.14 percent to five named Indian producers/exporters (Alcomex Springs Pvt Ltd, Asha Spring and Engineering Company, Balaji Springs Pvt. Ltd., Modern Engineering & Spring Company, Reliable Springs Ltd.) and 86.45 percent as the 'All Others' margin. The corresponding cash deposit rates (adjusted for subsidy offsets) are listed as 100.45 percent for the five named companies and 60.76 percent for All Others.
ITC Decision Window and Refund/Assessment Outcome
The ITC will make its final injury determination no later than 45 days after Commerce's final determination. If the ITC finds no material injury, suspension of liquidation will be lifted and cash deposits will be refunded; if the ITC finds material injury, Commerce will issue an antidumping duty order and duties will be assessed (including for entries covered by the suspension discussed above).
Suspension of Liquidation Dates for Entries
Commerce instructed U.S. Customs and Border Protection to suspend liquidation of entries of the subject merchandise entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption on or after March 4, 2025 (90 days before the Preliminary Determination). Commerce directed CBP to discontinue suspension of liquidation for entries on or after November 29, 2025, but to continue suspension for entries on or before November 28, 2025.
