USITC Finds Possible Harm From Chinese Slag Pots
On February 14, 2025, the U.S. International Trade Commission determined there is a reasonable indication that a U.S. industry is materially injured by imports of slag pots from China (HTS 7309.00.00) that are alleged to be sold at less than fair value and subsidized. This is the Commission's preliminary finding in antidumping and countervailing duty investigations Nos. 731-TA-1731 and 701-TA-753.
Final-Phase Trade Investigation Begins
The Commission has commenced the final phase of the antidumping and countervailing duty investigations. The final phase schedule will be set after the U.S. Department of Commerce issues its preliminary or final determinations, and industrial users and representative consumer organizations have the right to appear as parties in these proceedings.
