India's Steel Flanges Face U.S. Dumping Duty Scrutiny
Published Date: 2/12/2026
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 2023 to July 2024. This could mean extra duties (taxes) on these imports to keep things fair for American businesses. Companies involved can share their thoughts before the final decision is made.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 4 costs, 0 mixed.
Importer Certificate Requirement — Double Duty Risk
This notice reminds importers of their duty under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate about whether antidumping or countervailing duties were reimbursed before liquidation. If importers fail to file the certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and could assess double antidumping duties and/or increase antidumping duties by the amount of countervailing duties.
Cash Deposit Rules Upon Final Results
When Commerce publishes the final results, cash deposit rates for shipments entered on or after that publication date will normally be: (1) the company-specific weighted-average dumping margin from this review for companies in this review; (2) the company-specific rate from the most recent completed segment for firms covered in prior segments; (3) the producer's most recent segment rate when the exporter is not covered but the producer is; and (4) 8.91% for all other producers/exporters (the all-others rate). These cash deposit requirements remain in effect until further notice.
Assessment and Liquidation Rules for Entries
After the final results, Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping duties on appropriate entries. Importer-specific assessment rates will be calculated per 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). If a weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis (less than 0.5%), Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate without regard to antidumping duties. Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions no earlier than 35 days after publication of the final results, and if a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, CBP will be instructed not to liquidate relevant entries until the statutory injunction period (within 90 days of publication) has expired.
Preliminary Dumping Margins Announced
Commerce preliminarily found dumping margins for finished carbon steel flanges for the period August 1, 2023 through July 31, 2024: R.N. Gupta & Company Limited 2.65%, Norma Group 1.88%, and non-selected companies 2.35%. These preliminary margins mean importers of these flanges may face antidumping duties if the final results confirm these rates.
