US Sets 3.19% Margin In Austrian Strontium Chromate Review

The US Department of Commerce has released final results of its anti-dumping review of strontium chromate from Austria. It assigns Habich GmbH a 3.19% weighted-average dumping margin for the review period from 1 November 2023 to 31 October 2024.

The notice entered public inspection on 13 November 2026. It is scheduled for Federal Register publication on 16 November and states that the results apply from that date. Commerce determined that Habich made US sales at less than normal value during the review period.

Final Results Follow Preliminary Review

Commerce published preliminary results on 13 May 2026 and invited comments. The final notice says it changed aspects of Habich's margin calculation after considering parties' submissions.

The review concerns strontium chromate from Austria under the existing anti-dumping order. The 3.19% result is company-specific, rather than a new uniform rate for every supplier.

Cash Deposits From Publication

The final notice provides for Habich's cash-deposit rate to equal the final margin for subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after publication.

Previously reviewed producers or exporters retain their applicable company-specific rates. If an unreviewed exporter supplies goods from a previously reviewed producer, the producer's applicable rate is used. The all-others rate remains 32.16%.

Assessment Of Earlier Entries

For review-period entries where Habich reported entered values, Commerce calculated importer-specific assessment rates. Entries with a zero rate or a rate below 0.5% are to be liquidated without anti-dumping duties.

Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions no earlier than 35 days after publication. The notice provides separate timing arrangements where a timely court challenge is filed.
