Soybean Showdown: Duties Slap Indian Imports
Published Date: 1/23/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that Tejawat Organic Foods from India sold organic soybean meal in the U.S. at unfairly low prices between May 2023 and April 2024. Because of this, certain extra duties (antidumping taxes) will apply starting January 23, 2026. This affects importers and helps protect U.S. farmers from unfair competition.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 3 costs, 0 mixed.
Tejawat hit with 18.80% duty
Commerce found Tejawat Organic Foods sold organic soybean meal to the U.S. at dumped prices and assigned a weighted-average dumping margin of 18.80% for the period May 1, 2023 through April 30, 2024. Antidumping duties based on this 18.80% margin will apply beginning January 23, 2026.
Cash deposit rates set upon publication
Upon publication, cash deposit requirements take effect: (1) Tejawat’s cash deposit rate will equal the 18.80% dumping margin; (2) exporters/producers covered in prior segments keep their previously published company-specific rates; (3) where an exporter is new but the producer has a prior rate, that producer’s most recent rate applies; and (4) the all-others rate remains 3.07%. These cash deposit rules apply to shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the date of publication.
Importers must certify reimbursement or risk double duties
Importers are reminded they must file a certificate under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) about reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries. If importers fail to file this certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and assess double antidumping duties.
Action intended to protect U.S. farmers
Commerce stated the finding and resulting antidumping duties are intended to help protect U.S. farmers from unfair competition by subject foreign exporters. The notice identifies the measure as a protection for domestic agricultural producers.
