India's cold-drawn steel tubing preliminarily dumped in US market
Published Date: 9/3/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that some Indian companies sold cold-drawn steel tubing in the U.S. for less than fair value from June 2024 to May 2025. This means these companies might have to pay extra duties to level the playing field for U.S. businesses. The review is still preliminary, and companies can share their thoughts before final decisions are made.
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 4 costs, 1 mixed.
Importer Duty-Reimbursement Certification Requirement
Importers must file a certificate regarding reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation under 19 CFR 351.402(f). Failure to file may lead Commerce to presume reimbursement occurred and to assess double antidumping duties and/or increase antidumping duties by the amount of countervailing duties.
Preliminary Dumping Margins Announced
Commerce preliminarily found weighted-average dumping margins of 2.73% for Goodluck and 4.54% for Tube Products of India for sales from June 1, 2024 through May 31, 2025. If these preliminary margins are sustained in the final results, those companies’ U.S. entries may be subject to antidumping duties based on those margins.
Cash Deposit Rates for Future Shipments
If the final results impose duties, cash deposit rates for shipments entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results will be the company-specific final rates (or zero if the rate is less than 0.50%). The all-others cash deposit rate remains 5.87%.
How Duties Will Be Assessed (0.50% De Minimis)
Commerce will calculate importer-specific assessment rates based on the ratio of total dumping to entered value of examined sales; where entered values are missing, Commerce will calculate a per-unit assessment and an estimated ad valorem ratio. If a weighted-average dumping margin or importer-specific ad valorem rate is less than 0.50 percent (de minimis), Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate without antidumping duties.
Automatic Assessment at All‑Others Rate
For entries produced by Goodluck or TII during the review period where the producer did not know the merchandise was destined for the United States, Commerce intends to instruct CBP to liquidate those entries at the all-others LTFV investigation rate if there is no rate for intermediate companies. The all-others LTFV rate referenced in this proceeding is 5.87%.
