All market information reported to Platts may be considered and would be published in real-time, including firm bids and offers, trades and indicative values, as well as any other data deemed relevant to the assessment process.
The CFR India TDI assessment would include any applicable antidumping duty to accurately reflect the landed prices available to buyers from different origins. Pricing information for material with other specifications and terms may be normalized to the standard.
