Extra Fees Persist on Indian Steel Fittings for Fair Play

Published Date: 4/15/2026

Notice

Summary

The U.S. Department of Commerce decided to keep the extra taxes (countervailing duties) on forged steel fittings from India because removing them could let unfair government help continue. This means U.S. makers of these steel parts stay protected from cheaper imports. The decision took effect on April 15, 2026, keeping the playing field fair and supporting American jobs.

Ltd., Pan International, Patton International Limited, Sage Metals Limited, Kirtanlal Steel Pvt. Ltd., Disha Auto Components Pvt. Ltd., Dynamic Flow Products, Sara Sae Pvt.

U.S. Producers Kept Protected; Jobs Supported

Commerce decided to keep the countervailing duty order in place on forged steel fittings from India, effective April 15, 2026, to prevent continuation or recurrence of countervailable subsidies and thereby protect U.S. producers. The Department says this protection supports American jobs in the domestic forged steel fittings industry.
