The Commerce Department has published the preliminary results of its antidumping duty administrative review on silicomanganese from India (A-533-823).

If Commerce's finding for Maithan is continued in the final results, its AD cash deposit rate will be 1.71%, effective on the date Commerce's final results are published in the Federal Register. The agency would assess AD at importer-specific rates for entries of subject merchandise from Malthan entered May 1, 2022, through April 30, 2023, it said.
