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

Sodium Nitrite from India: FAQs

Is there anti-dumping duty on sodium nitrite from India?

Yes. Imports of sodium nitrite from India are subject to an antidumping duty order (A-533-906, since 27 Feb 2023) and a countervailing duty order (C-533-907, since 27 Feb 2023), according to the U.S. International Trade Administration's list of orders in force as of 18 Sept 2026.

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 orders on sodium nitrite from India end?

Orders are reviewed every five years in a "sunset review". The next one for sodium nitrite from India is due to start in Jan 2028. Until an order is revoked, it stays in force.
