China's Tungsten Shot Gets Hit with Anti-Subsidy Fees

Published Date: 7/11/2025

Notice

Summary

The U.S. says China’s tungsten shot makers got unfair government help, so they’re adding extra fees to balance the playing field. This means importers of this tungsten shot will pay more starting now, protecting U.S. businesses from cheap, subsidized products. If you deal with tungsten shot from China, get ready for these new costs during 2023 and beyond!

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.

Importers Face New Countervailing Duties

If you import certain tungsten shot from the People’s Republic of China, the U.S. Department of Commerce found countervailable subsidies for the period January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. Commerce is imposing countervailing duties on those imports, so importers of this product will pay extra fees to offset the subsidies.

U.S. Tungsten Producers Shielded From Subsidized Imports

The Department of Commerce determined that Chinese producers and exporters of certain tungsten shot received unfair subsidies during January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. The imposed countervailing duties are intended to protect U.S. tungsten shot producers and exporters from competition with subsidized Chinese imports.
