Preliminary 3.57% Subsidy Finding for Ecopure
Commerce preliminarily found countervailable subsidies for Ecopure Specialities Ltd. for the period January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024 and assigned a net countervailable subsidy rate of 3.57 percent ad valorem. Commerce also identified Nature Bio Foods Limited and LT Foods Limited as cross-owned with Ecopure.
Cash Deposit Rules and 9.57% All‑Others Rate
Commerce intends to instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties for shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of the final results of this review. The cash deposit rate will equal the company-specific rate determined in the final results except that rates below 0.50 percent will be treated as de minimis and set to zero; if producer and exporter rates differ the higher rate applies; if only one has a company-specific rate that rate applies; and the cash deposit rate for all other producers and exporters will remain 9.57 percent (the all-others rate).
Review Rescinded for 88 Indian Companies
Commerce is rescinding this administrative review for 88 named companies after timely withdrawal requests. For entries covered by those rescinded companies, Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess countervailing duties at the cash-deposit rate that was required at the time of entry or withdrawal from warehouse for consumption.

Starting October 8, 2026, the U.S. is putting extra taxes on oleoresin paprika imported from India because it's being sold too cheaply and getting unfair government help.

They found that Haur Tyi Paper Bag Co. didn’t sell these bags at unfairly low prices, and they stopped reviewing five other companies because no one asked for it. This means no extra duties for Haur Tyi right now, and the review process is moving forward with some deadlines adjusted due to a government shutdown.

Next: 2026-16019, Denial of Motor Vehicle Defect Petition
This notice sets forth the reasons for the denial of a petition, DP26-001, submitted by Mr. Christopher Mammarella (the Petitioner) to the Administrator of NHTSA (the "Agency") by a letter dated January 9, 2026, under 49 U.S.C. 30162 and 49 CFR part 552. The Petitioner requests the Agency initiate a safety defect investigation into allegations of a mechanical failure that results in the loss of All Wheel Drive (AWD) in certain Model Year (MY) 2021 to 2023 Acura TLX and MY 2022 to 2023 Acura MDX vehicles (the "Subject Vehicles") equipped with Acura's Super Handling All Wheel Drive (SH-AWD). As a result of the failure, these vehicles permanently lose the ability to transfer drive torque to the rear wheels effectively making them front wheel drive only. NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has determined that the issues raised in the Petition are not likely to result in a finding that a defect related to motor vehicle safety exists. This determination is based on a technical review by ODI of available information, which included: (1) consumer complaints submitted by the petitioner; (2) consumer complaint information in the agency's databases; and (3) other relevant information in possession of the agency. As a result, further investigation of the issue raised by the Petition is not warranted and the Agency, accordingly, has denied the Petition.
