Published Date: 2/3/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that some Indian companies making finished carbon steel flanges got unfair government help during 2023. This means extra duties might be charged on their products to keep things fair for U.S. businesses. The review’s preliminary results came out on February 3, 2026, and affected companies can still share their thoughts before final decisions.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 3 costs, 0 mixed.
Preliminary Countervailing Duty Rates
Commerce preliminarily found countervailable subsidies for finished carbon steel flanges from India for the period January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. Commerce published preliminary ad valorem subsidy rates of 2.40% for Norma (India) Ltd. (and certain cross-owned companies), 2.27% for R.N. Gupta & Co. Ltd., and 2.32% for companies not selected for individual review on February 3, 2026.
Cash Deposits After Final Results
Commerce intends to instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties for shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of the final results of this review. Commerce says these cash deposit instructions will remain in effect until further notice.
Review Rescinded For Three Firms
Commerce rescinded the administrative review for Balkrishna Steel Forge Pvt. Ltd., Cetus Engineering Private Limited, and Jai Auto Pvt. Ltd. because those companies timely withdrew their review requests. For those rescinded companies, Commerce will instruct CBP to assess countervailing duties at the cash deposit amount required at the time of entry for entries during January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023, and intends to issue rescission instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after publication of this notice.
