The department also determined that India is subsidizing steel flange producers at rates ranging from around 5 percent to more than 200 percent.
The US International Trade Commission (ITC) will make a final decision on September 24, the release said. If the ITC agrees with the determination the Commerce Department will begin implementing antidumping and anti-subsidy duties on Indian steel flange imports.
2017 imports of India stainless steel flanges to the United States were estimated at $44 million, according to the release.
