U.S. Department of Commerce Finds No Dumping of Sodium Nitrite from India

Estimated reading time: 3–5 minutes

The U.S. Department of Commerce is reviewing sodium nitrite imports from India to ensure fair trade practices. The review assesses whether Deepak Nitrite Limited (DNL) and other companies from India are selling sodium nitrite at prices below normal value in the United States.

The review period is from February 1, 2024, to January 31, 2025. During this time, the Commerce Department found that DNL did not sell sodium nitrite at less than normal value, which means there was no dumping.

The Commerce Department has also said they might stop the review for three companies: Buradon Inc., Palvi Industries Limited, and Lotus Global Pvt. Ltd. This is because there were no recorded entries of sodium nitrite from these companies during the review period.

For companies that were not individually reviewed, like Kronox Lab Sciences Pvt Ltd. and Kutch Chemical Industries Ltd., the Commerce Department plans to apply a dumping margin of 42.76%. This percentage is based on past findings and will be used as a rate for these companies.

Even though the review shows that DNL did not dump products, Commerce will decide on the final results in a few months. Public comments on these findings are welcome, and the final results will be used to set future policies and cash deposit requirements.

The next steps involve disclosing detailed calculations and methodology. Businesses and stakeholders can submit their written comments within the specified time frames.

Antidumping duties will be assessed based on the final results. If any weighted-average dumping margin exceeds 0.50%, importer-specific duties will be calculated accordingly. Companies showing no dumping will not pay additional duties.

These findings help maintain fair trade and ensure that products like sodium nitrite from India are priced properly in the U.S. market. The Commerce Department is committed to using careful analysis to make informed decisions.

Stay informed to know about the final results, which will guide future actions and policies regarding sodium nitrite imports from India.
