Commerce Department Confirms Dumping of Finished Carbon Steel Flanges from India
Estimated reading time: 4–5 minutes
The U.S. Department of Commerce has announced the final results of the antidumping duty review for finished carbon steel flanges imported from India. The review covered the period from August 1, 2023, through July 31, 2024. According to the Department, these products were sold in the United States at prices less than their normal value.
The Commerce Department conducted an administrative review of the antidumping duty order first published on August 24, 2017. The review was part of its ongoing efforts to ensure fair competition and compliance with international trade laws.
Norma Group, comprised of companies including Norma (India) Limited, USK Exports Private Limited, Uma Shanker Khandelwal & Co., and Bansidhar Chiranjilal, was a primary subject of this review. The Department determined a weighted-average dumping margin of 0.82% for this group.
R. N. Gupta & Company Limited, another significant exporter, was determined to have a weighted-average dumping margin of 2.65%.
For companies not individually examined, a rate of 1.94% was assigned based on the performance of the reviewed companies.
An important development in this review was the successor-in-interest determination for Munish Forge Limited. The company underwent a name change from Munish Forge Private Limited. The Department found that the structure, operations, and management remained largely unchanged. Therefore, Munish Forge Limited is considered the same entity as its predecessor for the purposes of the antidumping duty order.
The Commerce Department has outlined assessment rates for importers of the subject merchandise. These rates will be used by U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess duties on entries during the review period. New cash deposit requirements, effective upon publication of these results, will apply to future shipments.
The establishment of these antidumping duties underscores the Department’s commitment to protecting domestic industries from unfair trade practices while fostering a level playing field for U.S. businesses.
