Commerce says no dumping in silicomanganese from India, yawn.
Published Date: 8/6/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily determines that producers/exporters subject to this review did not make sales of subject merchandise at less than normal value (NV) during the period of review (POR), May 1, 2024, through April 30, 2025. In addition, we are rescinding the review with respect to two companies. Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results of review.
Analyzed Economic Effects
6 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 4 costs, 0 mixed.
Zero dumping margin for Maithan
Commerce preliminarily found a 0.00% weighted-average dumping margin for Maithan Alloys Limited and affiliated entities for the period May 1, 2024 through April 30, 2025. If this preliminary finding stands in the final results, importers of silicomanganese from these entities would not be assessed antidumping duties for that period.
Review rescinded for two exporters
Commerce is rescinding the administrative review for Alloys and Metals India and Shyam Sel and Power Ltd. because those parties withdrew their review requests. For those companies, Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries at the cash deposit rate in effect at the time of entry.
Cash deposit rules after final results
The notice says cash deposit requirements for shipments entered on or after the publication date of the final results will be: (1) the company-specific rate from the final results unless the rate is under 0.50%, in which case the deposit rate will be zero; (2) previously reviewed companies keep their most recent company-specific rate; (3) exporters not covered but manufacturers are covered use the manufacturer's rate; and (4) all other manufacturers or exporters pay the all-others rate of 17.74%. These deposit requirements stay in effect until Commerce says otherwise.
No duties if margin is zero or de minimis
Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate entries without regard to antidumping duties where a respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis (defined as less than 0.50%), or where an importer-specific ad valorem assessment rate is zero or de minimis. In those cases, importers will not be assessed antidumping duties for the affected entries.
Importer certificate and double-duty risk
Importers must file a reimbursement-of-duties certificate under 19 CFR 351.402(f) before liquidation of relevant entries for this period; failure to file could lead Commerce to presume reimbursement occurred and result in assessment of double antidumping duties. This requirement applies to entries during the period May 1, 2024 through April 30, 2025 as covered by this review.
Automatic assessment at all-others rate for unknown shipments
Commerce intends to apply its 'automatic assessment' practice for entries of silicomanganese produced by Maithan Alloys Limited for which Maithan did not know the merchandise was destined for the United States. In those cases, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the LTFV investigation all-others rate; the all-others rate established in the LTFV investigation is 17.74%.

United States, et al., Consol. Court No. 19-00122 (Slip Op. 26-77) (CIT 2026) sustaining the U.S. Department of Commerce's (Commerce) final results of remand redetermination (remand redetermination), concerning the countervailing duty (CVD) order on certain softwood lumber products (softwood lumber) from Canada. In particular, the CIT sustained Commerce's remand redetermination calculating a 1.05 percent ad valorem subsidy rate for Les Produits Forestiers D&G Lt[eacute]e (D&G) and its cross-owned company Les Produits Forestiers Portbec Lt[eacute]e (Portbec). Because D&G/Portbec's rate is now above de minimis, subject merchandise produced and exported by D&G/Portbec is included within the CVD order on softwood lumber from Canada.
