India’s Violet Pigment Cleared of Dumping for 2024
Published Date: 6/22/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce reviewed sales of Carbazole Violet Pigment 23 from India and found that Western Chemical Industries didn’t sell it at unfairly low prices from December 2023 to November 2024. This means no extra duties will be charged for that period, keeping things fair and steady for importers and buyers. The decision is official as of June 22, 2026.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 1 mixed.
27.48% All‑Others Assessment for Unknown‑Destination Entries
For entries during the period where Western Chemical did not know the merchandise was destined for the United States, Commerce will instruct Customs to liquidate those entries at the all-others rate of 27.48 percent if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved. This rule applies to such entries from December 1, 2023 through November 30, 2024 and is part of the final results published June 22, 2026.
Importer Certificate Requirement and Penalties
Importers must file a certificate regarding reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during the period of review. If importers fail to file this certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and could assess double antidumping duties and/or increase antidumping duties by the amount of countervailing duties.
No Dumping Duties for Western Chemical
The Department of Commerce found that Western Chemical Industries P Limited did not sell Carbazole Violet Pigment 23 at unfairly low prices during December 1, 2023 through November 30, 2024. Because Western Chemical's weighted-average dumping margin is 0.00 percent, Commerce intends to instruct Customs to liquidate those entries without regard to antidumping duties as of June 22, 2026.
Cash Deposit Rules and De Minimis Threshold
Effective upon publication, cash deposit requirements apply to shipments of CVP-23 from India entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the publication date. Company-specific cash deposit rates will be those established in the final results, except rates below 0.50 percent are treated as de minimis and set to zero; the all-others cash deposit rate remains 27.48 percent.
