Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce reviewed import rules on acetone from Belgium, Korea, Singapore, South Africa, and Spain and decided to keep the antidumping duties in place. This means these countries will still have to pay extra fees to prevent unfairly low prices from hurting U.S. businesses. The decision helps protect American companies and keeps the playing field fair.

Antidumping Duties Stay on Acetone Imports
The Department of Commerce decided to keep antidumping duties in place on acetone imported from Belgium, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, the Republic of South Africa, and Spain. That means importers and exporters tied to those shipments will still face extra fees aimed at offsetting unfairly low prices.
U.S. Acetone Producers Retain Trade Protection
Commerce found that removing the antidumping orders would likely allow dumping to continue, so it kept the duties to protect American acetone producers. If you run a U.S. acetone business, the decision preserves the trade protection meant to keep competition on fair terms.
