Notice of Court Decision Not in

SUMMARY: On August 20, 2021, the U.S. 

Court of International Trade (CIT) 

issued its final judgment in Echjay 

Forgings Private Limited v. United 

States, Consol. Court no. 18–00230, 

sustaining the Department of Commerce 

(Commerce)’s remand redetermination 

pertaining to the antidumping duty (AD) 

investigation of stainless steel flanges 

(flanges) from India covering the period 

of investigation, July 1, 2016, through 

June 30, 2017. Commerce is notifying 

the public that the CIT’s final judgment 

is not in harmony with Commerce’s 

final determination in that investigation, 

and that Commerce is amending the 

final determination and the resulting 

AD order with respect to the dumping 

margin assigned to Echjay Forgings 

Private Limited (Echjay) and the ‘‘all 

other’’ companies.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 16, 2018, Commerce 

published its Final Determination in the 

AD investigation of flanges from India.1

Commerce found that Echjay, along 

with Echjay Industries Private Limited 

(EIPL), Echjay Forgings Industry Private 

Limited (EFIPL), and Spire Industries 

Private Limited (Spire), constituted a 

single entity. Having collapsed the 

companies, Commerce requested that 

Echjay provide information on behalf of 

the constituent companies of the 

collapsed entity. Echjay did not provide 

such information. Therefore, Commerce 

treated Echjay as noncooperative and 

assigned Echjay a margin based on facts 

available, with adverse inferences 

(AFA). Specifically, Commerce assigned 

Echjay a dumping margin of 145.25 

percent and a cash deposit rate of 

140.39 percent, accounting for an export 

subsidy offset based on the parallel 

countervailing duty (CVD) 

investigation.2 Commerce subsequently 

published the AD order on flanges from 

India.3

Echjay appealed Commerce’s Final 

Determination. On October 8, 2020, the 

CIT remanded the Final Determination 

to Commerce, concluding that 

Commerce’s finding of affiliation and 

subsequent decision to collapse Echjay 

with EIPL, EFIPL and Spire were 

unsupported by substantial evidence.4

In its remand redetermination, issued 

in February 2021, Commerce revisited 

its prior collapsing determination and 

concluded that it was not appropriate to 

treat Echjay, EIPL, EFIPL, and Spire as 

a single entity. As a result, Commerce 

also revisited its concomitant 

application of AFA in determining 

Echjay’s weighted-average dumping 

margin and calculated a revised 

dumping margin for the company.5

Finally, in light of Echjay’s revised 

margin, and the method used in the 

investigation for determining the allothers rate, we calculated a revised allothers rate of 7.00 percent. The CIT

9Commerce reduced Echjay’s dumping margin by 

the ad valorem export subsidy rate (4.87 percent) 

found in the companion CVD investigation. See 

Final Determination, 83 FR 40746. 

10We calculated this rate by offsetting the 

weighted-average margin determined for the ‘‘all 

others’’ companies of 11.87 percent by the export 

subsidies rate (4.87 percent) found in the 

companion CVD investigation.

sustained Commerce’s final 

redetermination.6

Timken Notice 

In its decision in Timken,7 as clarified 

by Diamond Sawblades,8 the Court of 

Appeals for the Federal Circuit held 

that, pursuant to sections 516A(c) and 

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

(the Act), Commerce must publish a 

notice of court decision that is not ‘‘in 

harmony’’ with a Commerce 

determination and must suspend 

liquidation of entries pending a 

‘‘conclusive’’ court decision. The CIT’s 

August 20, 2021, judgment constitutes a 

final decision of the CIT that is not in 

harmony with Commerce’s Final 

Determination. Thus, this notice is 

published in fulfillment of the 

publication requirements of Timken. 

Amended Final Determination 

Because there is now a final court 

judgment, Commerce is amending its 

Final Determination as follows: 

Company 

Dumping 

margin 

(%) 

Cash 

deposit 

rate 

(%) 

Echjay Forgings Private 

Limited ....................... 4.58 9 0.00 

All Others ...................... 11.87 10 7.00 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

Because there is a superseding cash 

deposit rate, i.e., there have been final 

results published in a subsequent 

administrative review,11 we will not 

issue revised cash deposit instructions 

to U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) for Echjay. Commerce will issue 

revised all-others cash deposit 

instructions to CBP. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with sections 516A(c) and 

(e) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
