Plain-English explanation

CSMS 3073409 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin (trade policy), published on March 14, 2023. It carries the official CBP guidance brokers and importers must follow for the topic — "Cash deposit instructions for stainless steel flanges from India (A-533-877)". It links to 1 AD/CVD case in Tandom's catalog. CSMS messages are the operational layer between Commerce determinations and at-the-border collections: when Commerce publishes a new rate, scope ruling, or instruction, CBP turns it into a CSMS that ACE/ACS systems and brokers act on.

Full text as published by U.S. Customs and Border Protection

1. Commerce has published in the Federal Register (88 FR 14125) on 03/07/2023 the final results of its administrative review of certain producers/exporters subject to the antidumping duty order on stainless steel flanges from India for the period 10/01/2020 through 09/30/2021. 2. As a result of Commerce's review, the cash deposit rates have been revised for certain companies. Therefore, for shipments of stainless steel flanges from India produced and/or exported by the firms listed below, entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 03/07/2023, the required cash deposit has been revised: Producer and/or Exporter: Chandan Steel Limited Case number: A-533-877-001 Cash deposit rate: 0.65% Producer and/or Exporter: BFN Forgings Private Limited; Bebitz Flanges Works Private Limited; Viraj Impoexpo, Ltd.; Bebitz USA, Inc. (Bebitz USA); Flanschen werk Bebitz GmbH (FBG); Viraj Alloys, Ltd.; Viraj Forgings, Ltd.; Viraj Profiles Limited (Viraj); and Viraj USA, Inc. (Viraj USA) Case number: A-533-877-003 Cash deposit rate: 13.22% NOTE: "BFN Forgings Private Limited" was found to be the successor-in-interest to Bebitz Flanges Works Private Limited (See 86 FR 60792, unchanged in 87 FR 27568). Commerce has previously found this company to be part of a single entity comprised of the above-referenced companies, which are subject to the same case number (see 83 FR 40745). Additionally, as part of its collapsing analysis in the investigation, Commerce determined that references to Viraj Profiles Limited, Viraj Alloys, Ltd., Viraj Forgings, Ltd., and Viraj Impoexpo, Ltd. all reference the same entity.

Ltd Case number: A-533-877-007 Cash deposit rate: 13.22% Producer and/or Exporter: Goodluck India Limited Case number: A-533-877-017 Cash deposit rate: 50.72% Producer and/or Exporter: Hilton Metal Forging Limited Case Number A-533-877-018 Cash Deposit Rate: 13.22% Producer and/or Exporter: Jai Auto Pvt.

Ltd. Case number: A-533-877-063 Cash deposit rate: 13.22% 3. If any entries of merchandise are exported by a firm other than the producer, then the following instructions apply: A. If the exporter of the subject merchandise has its own rate, use the exporter's rate to determine the cash deposit rate. B. If the exporter of the subject merchandise does not have its own rate but the producer has its own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the producer's rate. C. Where neither the exporter nor the producer currently has its own rate or the producer is unknown, use the all-others rate for establishing the cash deposit rate. 4. For all producers/exporters of stainless steel flanges from India without their own rate, the cash deposit rate is 7.00 percent. 5. These cash deposit requirements shall remain in effect until further notice. Do not liquidate any entries of merchandise covered by the administrative review until specific liquidation instructions are issued. 6.
