|---|---|
| Chandan Steel Limited | 3.66% |
| Kisaan Die Tech Private Limited | 1.27% |
| Review Average Rate (applicable to 19 companies) | 3.40% |
Average Rate. Commerce did not individually investigate 19 companies subject to this review: Ae Engineers & Exporters; Balkrishna Steel Forge Pvt. Ltd.; BFN Forgings Private Limited (former name Bebitz Flanges Works Private Limited*); Broadway Overseas Ltd.; Dongguan Good Luck Furniture Industrial Co., Ltd.; DSV Air and Sea Pvt.

* BFN Forgings Private Limited was found to be the successor-in-interest to Bebitz Flanges Works Private Limited, with Commerce upholding its preliminary finding.
For exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all except the 21 companies referenced above), cash deposit rates remain at the level set in the most recent review of each respective company. If the exporter has never been assigned its own AD rate, but the manufacturer has, the rate assigned to the manufacturer applies. For merchandise manufactured and exported by companies that have never been assigned a cash deposit rate by Commerce, the all others rate of 7% applies.
