Countervailing Duties on Ferrosilicon
If you import ferrosilicon from Brazil, Kazakhstan, or Malaysia, those imports are now subject to U.S. countervailing duties (special import taxes). Importers will need to pay extra fees on shipments from those three countries because Commerce has issued CVD orders covering them.
Helps U.S. Ferrosilicon Producers Compete
The CVD orders are intended to offset foreign subsidies, helping U.S. ferrosilicon producers compete better against imports from Brazil, Kazakhstan, and Malaysia. Commerce also amended the Kazakhstan determination to correct a ministerial error.
