Chromium Trioxide From India and Turkey; Scheduling of the Final Phase of Countervailing Duty and Antidumping Duty Investigations

Brief takeaway: The ITC has scheduled the final phase of antidumping and countervailing duty investigations on chromium trioxide from India and Turkey, which could lead to duties on these imports.

What changed: According to the notice, the Commission is scheduling the final phase of AD/CVD investigation Nos. 701-TA-779 and 731-TA-1765-1766 (Final) to determine whether a U.S. industry is materially injured or threatened by these imports. The notice states Commerce preliminarily determined that chromium trioxide from India and Turkey is sold at less-than-fair-value, and that imports from India are subsidized by the government of India.

Who's affected: The notice names chromium trioxide provided for in HTS subheading 2819.10.00. It cites imports from India (both antidumping and countervailing duty) and Turkey (antidumping duty only).

What to review:
- Review whether your imported products may fall within the scope of chromium trioxide described in the notice under HTS 2819.10.00.
- Confirm with your customs broker whether goods from India or Turkey may be subject to these ongoing investigations.
- Check the country of origin of your chromium trioxide sourcing against those named.
- Confirm with your broker or trade counsel the status and any preliminary duty deposit requirements from Commerce.
