US confirms dumping on Indian carbon steel flanges
The U.S. Department of Commerce has concluded its administrative review of antidumping duties on finished carbon steel flanges from India for the August 2023–July 2024 period. Commerce determined that Indian exporters sold these flanges in the U.S. market at less than normal value, confirming dumping. This administrative review is part of the ongoing antidumping duty order on this product category. Importers and freight forwarders handling Indian carbon steel flanges must ensure compliance with applicable antidumping duty rates established in this review.

The U.S. Department of Commerce announced its final determination in the administrative review of antidumping duties on finished carbon steel flanges from India, covering the period of review (POR) August 1, 2023, through July 31, 2024. Commerce has confirmed that finished carbon steel flanges from India were sold in the United States at less than normal value during this period.
"The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) determines that finished carbon steel flanges from India were sold in the United States at less than normal value during the period of review (POR) August 1, 2023, through July 31, 2024." — Federal Register, June 18, 2026
This determination triggers the application (or continuation) of antidumping duties on imports of finished carbon steel flanges (Chapter 73, specifically flanges used in piping and industrial applications) originating from India. Administrative reviews such as this are conducted periodically to assess whether foreign manufacturers continue to engage in dumping practices and to set or adjust duty rates accordingly.
Importers, distributors, and freight forwarders sourcing finished carbon steel flanges from Indian suppliers must ensure they are properly classified under HS Chapter 73 and that appropriate antidumping duty deposits or payments are made at the time of entry. The specific duty rates applicable to individual Indian exporters depend on their involvement in the administrative review and prior determinations.
What this means for shippers
You must verify the antidumping duty rate applicable to your Indian carbon steel flange supplier and account for these duties in your landed-cost calculations. Update your tariff and duty tables immediately to reflect Commerce's final determination. Confirm your supplier's company-specific rate (or the all-others rate) and ensure all entries include proper cash-deposit or duty-payment arrangements to avoid penalties or entry rejections.
