May add import taxes on Chinese anode material

The Department of Commerce preliminarily found that producers and exporters of active anode material from China received countervailable subsidies for the period January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. That finding can lead to countervailing duties (extra import taxes) on those Chinese imports, which would raise costs for U.S. businesses that import or buy that material.

Preliminary ruling aims to protect U.S. businesses

Commerce preliminarily determined that Chinese producers of active anode material received unfair government help for January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. The agency says this action is meant to keep things fair for U.S. businesses and could result in duties that protect U.S. producers competing with those imports.
