The product covered by these orders is grinding media from India. For a complete description of the scope of these orders, see the appendix to this notice. Amendment to the AD Final Determination On April 28, 2025, the petitioner timely alleged that Commerce made a ministerial error in the AD Final Determination with respect to the duty margin assigned to AIA Engineering Limited (AIAEL) and its affiliates (collectively, AIA). No other party made an allegation of ministerial errors or submitted a rebuttal to the petitioner's ministerial error allegation under 19 CFR 351.224(c)(3). Commerce reviewed the record and agreed that the error alleged by the petitioner constitutes a ministerial error within the meaning of section 735(e) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f). Specifically Commerce found that it made an inadvertent error in not accounting for AIA's reporting of certain brokerage and handling incurred in the United States. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(e), Commerce is amending the AD Final Determination to reflect the correction of the ministerial error, as described in the Ministerial Error Memorandum. Based on the correction, AIA's final dumping margin rate changed from 9.58 percent to 9.79 percent. As a result, we are also revising the all-others rate from 9.58 percent to 9.79 percent. The amended estimated weighted-average dumping margins are listed in the ``Estimated Weighted-Average Dumping Margins'' section below. See Ministerial Error Allegation. See Memorandum, ``Analysis of Ministerial Error Allegations,'' dated concurrently with this notice (Ministerial Error Memorandum). Id. Antidumping Duty Order On June 11, 2025, in accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, the ITC notified Commerce of its final determination that an industry in the United States is materially injured within the meaning of section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by reason of imports of grinding media that are sold in the United States at less than fair value. Therefore, in accordance with sections 735(c)(2) and 736 of the Act, Commerce is issuing this AD order. Because the ITC determined that imports of grinding media from India are materially injuring a U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of such merchandise from India, entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, are subject to the assessment of antidumping duties. Therefore, in accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, antidumping duties equal to the amount by which the normal value of the merchandise exceeds the export price (or constructed export price) of the merchandise, for all relevant entries of grinding media from India. Antidumping duties will be assessed on unliquidated entries of grinding media from India entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after December 6, 2024, the date of publication of the AD Preliminary Determination but will not include entries occurring after the expiration of the provisional measures period and before publication of the ITC's final injury determination, as further described below. See Certain High Chrome Cast Iron Grinding Media from India: Preliminary Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, Postponement of Final Determination, and Extension of Provisional Measure, 89 FR 96939 (December 6, 2024) (AD Preliminary Determination). Suspension of Liquidation and Cash Deposits--AD Commerce intends to instruct CBP to reinstitute the suspension of liquidation of grinding media from India, effective on the date of publication of the ITC Final Determination in the Federal Register, and to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, antidumping duties on each entry of subject merchandise based on the estimated weighted- average dumping margins indicated in the table below. These instructions suspending liquidation will remain in effect until further notice. Commerce also intends to instruct CBP to require cash deposits equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping margins indicated in the table below. Accordingly, effective on the date of publication in the Federal Register of the notice of the ITC's final affirmative injury determination, CBP will require, at the same time as importers would normally deposit estimated customs duties on this subject merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the rates listed in the table below. The all-others rate applies to all producers and exporters not specifically listed below, as appropriate. Estimated Weighted-Average Dumping Margins Commerce determines that the following estimated weighted-average dumping margins exist: Adjusted for export subsidies of 2.88 percent (comprised of 1.63 percent for the Duty Drawback Program (DDB), 1.00 percent for the Remission of Duties and Taxes on Export Products program (RoDTEP), 0.07 percent for the Status Holder Incentive Scheme (SHIS) program, and 0.18 percent for the Interest Equalization Scheme (IES)). See CVD Final Determination. We determined that AIAEL and Welcast Steel Limited (Welcast) are a single entity. In addition, we determine that AIAEL is affiliated with Vega Industries (Middle East) F.Z.C (Vega ME) and Vega Industries, Ltd, USA (Vega USA).

These HTS headings are recorded in the case linkage: 7325.91.00. Confirm the exact ten-digit code against the published scope language, because product descriptions rather than codes alone define the legal boundary of the order, and scope rulings occasionally widen or narrow which lines inherit the deposit obligation.
