the party’s name, address, and 

telephone number, the number of 

participants, and a list of the issues to 

be discussed. Issues raised in the 

hearing will be limited to those raised 

in the case and rebuttal briefs. If a 

request for a hearing is made, we will 

inform parties of the scheduled date for 

the hearing at a time and location to be 

determined.14 Parties should confirm by 

telephone the date, time, and location of 

the hearing no fewer than two days 

before the scheduled date. Parties are 

reminded that all briefs and hearing 

requests must be filed electronically 

using ACCESS and received 

successfully in their entirety by 5:00 

p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. 

Unless the deadline is extended 

pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1), 

Commerce will issue the final results of 

this administrative review, including 

the results of our analysis of the issues 

raised by the parties in their case briefs, 

not later than 120 days after the date of 

publication of this notice, pursuant to 

section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. 

Assessment Rates 

Upon issuance of the final results, 

Commerce shall determine, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review. The final results of this review 

shall be the basis for the assessment of 

antidumping duties on entries of 

merchandise covered by this review and 

for future deposits of estimated duties, 

where applicable.15 Commerce intends 

to issue assessment instructions to CBP 

no earlier than 35 days after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

review in the Federal Register. If a 

timely summons is filed at the U.S. 

Court of International Trade, the 

assessment instructions will direct CBP 

not to liquidate relevant entries until the 

time for parties to file a request for a 

statutory injunction has expired (i.e., 

within 90 days of publication). 

If the weighted-average dumping 

margin for Euro SME is above de 

minimis (i.e., 0.50 percent) in the final 

results of this review, we will calculate 

importer-specific ad valorem 

antidumping duty assessment rates 

based on the ratio of the total amount of 

dumping calculated for the importer’s 

examined sales to the total entered 

value of those same sales in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).16 If the 

respondent has not reported entered 

values, we will calculate a per-unit 

assessment rate for each importer by 

dividing the total amount of dumping 

calculated for the examined sales made 

to that importer by the total quantity 

associated with those sales. We will 

instruct CBP to assess antidumping 

duties on all appropriate entries covered 

by this review when the importerspecific assessment rate calculated in 

the final results of this review is above 

de minimis (i.e., 0.50 percent). Where 

either the respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de 

minimis, or an importer-specific 

assessment rate is zero or de minimis, 

we will instruct CBP to liquidate the 

appropriate entries without regard to 

antidumping duties.17

In accordance with Commerce’s 

‘‘automatic assessment’’ practice, for 

entries of subject merchandise during 

the POR produced by the respondent for 

which it did not know that the 

merchandise was destined for the 

United States, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate entries not reviewed at the allothers rate if there is no rate for the 

intermediate company(ies) involved in 

the transaction.18

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of the notice of the final 

results of the administrative review for 

all shipments of the subject 

merchandise entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption on or 

after the date of publication of the final 

results, as provided by section 751(a)(2) 

of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for 

Euro SME will be equal to the dumping 

margin established in the final results of 

this review, except if the ultimate rate 

is de minimis within the meaning of 19 

CFR 351.106(c)(1), in which case the 

cash deposit rates will be zero; (2) for 

merchandise exported by producers or 

exporters not covered in this 

administrative review but covered in a 

prior segment of the proceeding, the 

cash deposit rate will continue to be the 

company-specific rate published for the 

most recently completed segment of this 

proceeding in which the producer or 

exporter participated; (3) if the exporter 

is not a firm covered in this review, a 

prior review, or the original less than 

fair value (LTFV) investigation but the 

producer is, then the cash deposit rate 

will be the rate established for the most 

recently completed segment of the 

proceeding for the producer of the 

merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit 

rate for all other producers or exporters 

will continue to be 84.94 percent, the 

all-others rate established in the LTFV 

investigation of this proceeding.19 These 

cash deposit requirements, when 

imposed, shall remain in effect until 

further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a 

preliminary reminder to importers of 

their responsibility under 19 CFR 

351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 

regarding the reimbursement of 

antidumping duties prior to liquidation 

of the relevant entries during this 

review period. Failure to comply with 

this requirement could result in 

Commerce’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of double antidumping duties, and/or 

increase in the amount of antidumping 

duties by the amount of the 

countervailing duties. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

results in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 

CFR 351.221(b)(4).

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily 

determines that producers/exporters 

subject to this review did not make sales 

of subject merchandise at prices below 

normal value. The period of review 

(POR) is December 1, 2022, through 

November 30, 2023. We invite 

interested parties to comment on these 

preliminary results.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On February 8, 2024, based on a 

timely request for review, and in 

accordance with section 751(a) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), 

Commerce initiated this administrative 

review of the antidumping duty (AD) 

order on carbazole violet pigment 23 

(CVP–23) from India covering three 

companies: Gharda Chemicals, Ltd. 

(Gharda), Meghmani Pigments 

(Meghmani), and Navpad Pigments Pvt. 

Ltd. (Navpad).1 On March 1, 2024, we 

limited the number of respondents for 

individual examination in this 

administrative review to Meghmani and 

Navpad.2 On July 22, 2024, Commerce 

tolled certain deadlines in this 

administrative proceeding by seven 

days.3 The deadline for the preliminary 

results is now September 9, 2024. For a 

complete description of the events that 

followed the initiation of this review, 

see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum.4

Scope of the Order 5

The product covered by the Order is 

CVP–23, in any form. For a full 

description of the scope of the Order, 

see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with section 751(a) of the 

Act. Export price is calculated in 

accordance with section 772 of the Act. 

Normal value is calculated in 

accordance with section 773 of the Act. 

For a full description of the 

methodology underlying our 

conclusions, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. A list of topics 

included in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is included as an 

appendix to this notice. The Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum is on file 

electronically via Enforcement and 

Compliance’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (ACCESS). 

ACCESS is available to registered users 

at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, 

the Preliminary Decision Memorandum 

can be accessed directly at https://

access.trade.gov/public/FRNotices

ListLayout.aspx. 

Rate for the Non-Examined Company 

To determine the rate for non-selected 

companies in an administrative review, 

generally, Commerce looks to section 

735(c)(5) of the Act, which provides 

instructions for calculating the allothers rate in a market economy 

investigation. Under section 

735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-others 

rate is normally ‘‘an amount equal to the 

weighted average of the estimated 

weighted average dumping margins 

established for exporters and producers 

individually investigated, excluding any 

zero or de minimis margins, and any 

margins determined entirely {on the 

basis of facts available.}’’ 

Where the dumping margin for 

individually examined respondents are 

all zero, de minimis, or based entirely 

on facts available, section 735(c)(5)(B) of 

the Act provides that Commerce may 

use ‘‘any reasonable method to establish 

the estimated all-others rate for 

exporters and producers not 

individually investigated, including 

averaging the estimated weighted 

average dumping margins determined 

for the exporters and producers 

individually investigated.’’ 

In this review, we calculated 

weighted-average dumping margins for 

Meghmani and Navpad that are zero and 

we did not calculate any margins which 

are not zero, de minims, or determined 

entirely on the basis of facts available. 

Therefore, consistent with section 

735(c)(5)(B) of the Act, we are applying 

to Gharda, the company not selected for 

individual examination in this review, a 

margin of zero percent. 

Preliminary Results of Review 

As a result of our review, we 

preliminarily determine the following 

estimated weight-average dumping 

margins for the period December 1, 

2022, through November 30, 2023: 

Producer/exporter 

Weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin 

(percent) 

Gharda Chemicals Limited ......... 0.00 

Meghmani Pigments/Meghmani 

LLC .......................................... 0.00 

Navpad Pigments Pvt. Ltd .......... 0.00

Assessment Rates 

Upon completion of the 

administrative review, Commerce shall 

determine, and U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries covered by this review.11 If the 

weighted-average dumping margin is 

not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 

percent), then Commerce will calculate 

importer-specific ad valorem 

antidumping duty assessment rates 

based on the ratio of the total amount of 

dumping calculated for each importer’s 

examined sales to the total entered 

value of those same sales in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). If the 

weighted-average dumping margin is 

zero or de minimis in the final results, 

or if an importer-specific assessment 

rate is zero or de minimis in the final 

results, Commerce will instruct CBP to 

liquidate the appropriate entries 

without regard to antidumping duties. 

In accordance with Commerce’s 

‘‘automatic assessment’’ practice, for 

entries of subject merchandise that 

entered the United States during the 

POR that were produced by each 

respondent for which the respondent 

did not know that its merchandise was 

destined to the United States, 

Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate 

unreviewed entries at the all-others rate, 

if there is no rate for the intermediate 

company(ies) involved in the 

transaction.12

Commerce intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP no 

earlier than 35 days after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

review in the Federal Register. If a 

timely summons is filed at the U.S. 

Court of International Trade, the 

assessment instructions will direct CBP 

not to liquidate relevant entries until the 

time for parties to file a request for a 

statutory injunction has expired (i.e., 

within 90 days of publication). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following deposit requirements 

will be effective for all shipments of 

CVP–23 from India entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

administrative review, as provided for 

by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the 

cash deposit rate for the companies 

under review will be the rate 

established in the final results of this 

review (except, if the rate is zero or de 

minimis, no cash deposit will be 

required); (2) for previously reviewed or 

investigated companies not listed above, 

the cash deposit rate will continue to be 

the company-specific rate published for 

the most recent period; (3) if the 

exporter is not a firm covered in this 

review, a prior review, or the less-thanfair-value investigation, but the 

manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate 

will be the rate established for the most 

recent period for the manufacturer of 

the merchandise; and (4) the cash 

deposit rate for all other manufacturers 

or exporters will continue to be 27.48 

percent, the all-others rate established 

in the investigation.13 These cash 

deposit rates, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Final Results of Review 

Unless otherwise extended, 

Commerce intends to issue the final 

results of this administrative review, 

including the results of our analysis of 

issues raised by the parties in any 

written briefs, within 120 days of 

publication of these preliminary results 

in the Federal Register, pursuant to 

section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.213(h)(1). 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a 

preliminary reminder to importers of 

their responsibility under 19 CFR 

351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 

regarding the reimbursement of 

antidumping and/or countervailing 

duties prior to liquidation of the 

relevant entries during this review 

period. Failure to comply with this 

requirement could result in Commerce’s 

presumption that reimbursement of 

antidumping and/or countervailing 

duties occurred and the subsequent 

assessment of double antidumping 

duties, and/or an increase in the amount 

of antidumping duties by the amount of 

the countervailing duties. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

These preliminary results of 

administrative review are issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19
