Indian Violet Pigment Lands in Another Round of U.S. Duty Reviews
Published Date: 6/25/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that some Indian companies making Carbazole Violet Pigment 23 got unfair government help during 2023. They’re stopping the review for one company and thinking about stopping it for another. This could affect import duties and trade rules starting June 25, 2026, so companies involved should pay close attention and get ready to respond.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 4 costs, 0 mixed.
Cash Deposit Rules and All-Others Rate
Commerce intends to instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties for shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the date of publication of the final results. Company-specific final rates will apply; rates below 0.50 percent are treated as de minimis (cash deposit rate = 0); if producer and exporter rates differ, the higher rate applies; and the all-others subsidy rate remains 20.55 percent.
Preliminary 3.38% Countervailing Duty
Commerce preliminarily found a net countervailable subsidy rate of 3.38 percent ad valorem for Navpad Pigments Private Limited for the period January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. If finalized, importers of Navpad CVP 23 may face duties at that 3.38% rate when Commerce issues final results and instructs U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess duties.
Rescission for Meghmani — Duties Assessed at Deposit Rate
Commerce rescinded this administrative review for Meghmani Pigments because Meghmani withdrew its review request. Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess duties on Meghmani entries at the cash deposit rate of estimated countervailing duties required at the time of entry. Commerce intends to issue rescission instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of this notice.
Intent To Rescind for SCIL (No Suspended Entries)
Commerce intends to rescind the review for Sudarshan Chemical Industries Limited (SCIL) because CBP import data show SCIL had no reviewable, suspended entries during the period January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. If rescission is finalized, Commerce will instruct CBP to assess duties on SCIL entries at the cash deposit rate required at the time of entry, and Commerce will issue rescission instructions no earlier than 35 days after publication of the final results.
