1. On 12/06/2024, Commerce published in the Federal Register (89 FR 96939) its affirmative preliminary determination of sales at less than fair value in the antidumping duty investigation of certain high chrome cast iron grinding media from India (see message number 4346402, dated 12/11/2024). The cash deposit rates in that message were adjusted to reflect offsets for certain subsidies associated with the companion countervailing duty (CVD) investigation of this merchandise (C-533-931). 2. The final day that provisional measures in the companion CVD proceeding were in effect was 01/31/2025. As a result, suspension of liquidation was discontinued in that case (see message number 5044412, dated 02/13/2025). Therefore, effective 02/01/2025 (the day after the final day of provisional measures in the companion CVD proceeding), CBP should collect the full cash deposit rate calculated in the antidumping duty proceeding, as identified in the paragraph below. 3. Accordingly, for shipments of subject merchandise from the producers and/or exporters listed below, entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 02/01/2025 (the day after the final day of provisional measures in the companion CVD investigation), CBP shall require a cash deposit equal to the following dumping margins: Producer and/or exporter: AIA Engineering Limited; Welcast Steel Limited; Vega Industries (Middle East) F.Z.C Case number: A-533-930-001 Cash deposit rate: 7.18% Exporter: All Others Case number: A-533-930-000 Cash deposit rate: 7.18% 4. If any entries of this merchandise are exported by a firm other than the producer, then the following instructions apply: A. 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. B. Where neither the exporter nor the producer has its own rate or the producer is unknown, use the all-others rate of 7.18% to establish the cash deposit. 5. If there are any questions by the importing public regarding this message, please contact the Call Center for the Office of AD/CVD Operations, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce at (202) 482-0984. CBP ports should submit their inquiries through authorized CBP channels only. (This message was generated by OVII:CD.) 6. There are no restrictions on the release of this information.
