India's Sodium Nitrite Dodges Extra Duties in Routine Review
Published Date: 2/12/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce reviewed sodium nitrite sales from India by Deepak Nitrite Limited between August 2022 and January 2024 and found no unfair pricing. This means no extra duties will be charged for that period. The decision kicks in starting February 12, 2026, keeping trade fair and steady for everyone involved.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 1 mixed.
All-Others Rate May Apply for Unknown-Destination Entries
If entries of sodium nitrite were produced by Deepak but Deepak did not know the merchandise was destined for the United States, those entries will be liquidated at the all-others rate of 42.76% if there is no established rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved. This instruction applies in the liquidation process following these final results.
No AD Duties for Deepak's 2022–2024 Shipments
If you imported sodium nitrite produced or exported by Deepak Nitrite Limited during August 17, 2022 through January 31, 2024, Commerce found a 0.00% dumping margin and no antidumping duties will be charged for that period. This determination is applicable as of February 12, 2026 and Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to liquidate those appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
Cash Deposit Rates For Future Entries Set
For shipments of sodium nitrite entered on or after the publication date of these final results, cash deposit requirements will apply: the cash deposit rate for companies subject to this review will be the rates established in these final results (Deepak: 0.00%), and the cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be 42.76%. These cash deposit requirements remain in effect until further notice.
Importer Certificate Requirement and Double-Duty Risk
Importers must file a certificate regarding reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties prior to liquidation of relevant entries during the period August 17, 2022 through January 31, 2024. Failure to comply could lead Commerce to presume reimbursement occurred and result in assessment of double antidumping duties or an increase in antidumping duties by the amount of countervailing duties.
