Scope

What products the order covers

For purposes of these orders, the products covered are all forms, sizes and compositions of silicomanganese, except low-carbon silicomanganese, including silicomanganese briquettes, fines and slag. Silicomanganese is a ferroalloy composed principally of manganese, silicon and iron, and normally contains much smaller proportions of minor elements, such as carbon, phosphorous and sulfur. Silicomanganese is sometimes referred to as ferrosilicon manganese. Silicomanganese is used primarily in steel production as a source of both silicon and manganese.…

For Indian exporters

What this means for your shipments

Your US buyer pays. The importer of record posts a cash deposit at the AD/CVD rate when the goods enter the US, on top of normal duty.
The rate depends on who made and sold the goods. Companies reviewed by Commerce get their own rate; everyone else gets the all-others rate.
The entry is filed differently. The customs broker files it as an AD/CVD entry and quotes the case number, so share the producer and exporter names with your buyer.
Rates can change every year. Interested parties can ask for an administrative review in the order's anniversary month.

Questions

Silicomanganese from India: FAQs

Is there anti-dumping duty on silicomanganese from India?

Yes. Imports of silicomanganese from India are subject to an antidumping duty order (A-533-823, since 23 May 2002), according to the U.S. International Trade Administration's list of orders in force as of 18 Sept 2026.

What is the duty rate on silicomanganese from India?

When the order was issued, the rate for exporters not individually named (the "all-others" rate) was 17.74% for the AD order. Rates are set per producer and exporter and change after each administrative review, so the rate on a shipment today depends on who made and sold it. Check the latest Federal Register notice.

Who pays the anti-dumping duty, the Indian exporter or the US importer?

The US importer of record. It pays a cash deposit at the AD/CVD rate when the goods enter the US, and the final amount is settled when Commerce completes its review. In practice the duty shapes the price the US buyer can pay, so it matters to the Indian exporter too.

When can the order on silicomanganese from India end?

Orders are reviewed every five years in a "sunset review". The next one for silicomanganese from India is due to start in Nov 2029. Until an order is revoked, it stays in force.
