20.04% is the rate likely if the order ended, not what importers pay today. The US ITC runs its own review, with a hearing on 1 April 2027. ⚠️ US importers of Moroccan phosphate: 1. What cash deposit rate applies to your entries today? 2. Who tracks the ITC hearing?

The notice doesn't say which IGST rate applies now, or how goods in transit are treated. Watch for CBIC guidance. 💡 If you buy metal from these banks: 1. Did your supplier import under the old exemption? 2. Which rate applies now? 3. Does your pricing cover tax paid at import?

Tool and building suppliers who buy these blades: nothing changes yet. The duty still needs a formal renewal from US Commerce, and no date is set. 💡 Check what deposit rate you pay now, since the ITC notice lists none.

⚠️ The duties are not formally renewed yet. That needs a separate notice from US Commerce, and no date has been given. If you import these chassis: 1. Check the deposit rate you pay today, since the ITC notice gives no rates. 2. Watch for the Commerce notice.

It's still an investigation, so no anti-dumping duty (an extra charge on goods sold below fair value) applies yet. For buyers and exporters: 1. Is your pipe welded stainless line or pressure pipe? 2. Does your contract say who pays any future duty? 3. Mark 10 Feb.
