No Dumping Found in French Chromate Sales—Duties on Hold
Published Date: 5/8/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce checked if a French company, SNCZ, sold strontium chromate in the U.S. at unfairly low prices from Nov 2023 to Oct 2024. They found no evidence of dumping, meaning no extra duties will be charged—for now. Companies involved can share their thoughts before the final decision, which could affect prices and trade rules soon.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.
Future Cash Deposits and 32.16% All‑Others Rate
When Commerce issues the final results, the company-specific cash deposit rate for SNCZ will equal the weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results (or zero if that rate is de minimis). For exporters/producers not covered in this review, prior segment rates remain in effect, and the cash deposit rate for all other producers/exporters will continue to be 32.16 percent as established in the original investigation. These cash deposit rates apply to shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the date of publication of the final results.
Importer Certificate; Risk of Double Duties
Importers must file a certificate about reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries as required by 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2). If an importer fails to file this certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and assess double antidumping duties.
Preliminary: SNCZ Dumping Margin 0%
For the period November 1, 2023 through October 31, 2024, the Department of Commerce preliminarily found Société Nouvelle des Couleurs Zinciques (SNCZ) had a weighted-average dumping margin of 0.00%. That preliminary finding means, for now, Commerce will not assess antidumping duties on SNCZ's sales for that period.
