The U.S. International Trade Commission has made an affirmative determination to maintain the existing anti-dumping orders on silicomanganese imports from China and Ukraine after conducting the fifth sunset review. This decision is based on findings that revoking the current AD duty orders would likely lead to material injury to the U.S. industry within a reasonably foreseeable time.
The review process began on January 1, 2023, when the U.S. Department of Commerce launched its fifth sunset review of AD on silicomanganese from both countries. Following this, the USDOC issued a determination on March 7, 2024, concluding its expedited review of these products.
Silicomanganese is a key component used in steel production, and the U.S. has imposed AD orders to protect its domestic industry from unfair competition. By maintaining these orders, the USITC aims to ensure a level playing field for U.S. manufacturers against subsidized imports that could undercut prices and harm local production.
The USITC's ruling is part of broader efforts to uphold fair trade practices and safeguard U.S. industries from potential injury caused by foreign dumping. This action reflects the government's commitment to supporting domestic industries and maintaining economic stability within the steel sector.
