US Pushes Back Silicon Metal Tariff Decisions from Australia and Friends
Published Date: 6/30/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. is delaying its first big decision on extra taxes for silicon metal imports from Australia, Laos, Norway, and Thailand. This means companies from these countries and U.S. buyers will wait longer—up to about four more months—before knowing if extra fees apply. The delay helps make sure the investigation is thorough and fair.

Silicon Metal Duty Decision Delayed
If you are a producer or exporter of silicon metal from Australia, the Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Laos), Norway, or Thailand, the U.S. Department of Commerce has postponed the preliminary countervailing duty (CVD) determinations from the original July 18, 2025 deadline to not later than September 22, 2025 (130 days after the May 14, 2025 initiation). The petitioners requested the postponement on June 18 and June 23, 2025, Commerce granted the request, and the final determinations will remain due 75 days after the preliminary determinations.
