The next step is for the International Trade Commission to make its final injury determination, currently scheduled for June 5, according to a Commerce fact sheet. If the ITC finds injury, Commerce will issue an AD order and duties will be made permanent. If the ITC finds no injury, the investigation will be terminated and all cash deposits refunded.
Commerce also is issuing its final determinations in the concurrent CVD investigation on high chrome cast iron grinding media from India, setting CVD rates at 3.16% for all Indian exporters, though CVD cash deposit requirements are on hold as of Feb. 1 pending the ITC's final injury determination (see 2504290025).

Commerce will instruct CBP to continue to suspend liquidation for AD purposes for all entries of subject merchandise, and require AD cash deposits as follows on entries on or after April 28:
