Notice
Summary
The U.S. government has decided to keep extra taxes on small diameter graphite electrodes imported from China because removing them could hurt American companies. This decision affects businesses that make or use these electrodes and means the current rules stay in place for now. The review was finished in August 2025, so importers should expect these duties to continue impacting prices and trade.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Antidumping Duties Continue for Importers
If you import small diameter graphite electrodes from China, the antidumping duty order will remain in place following the U.S. International Trade Commission's determination on August 26, 2025. Importers should expect these extra duties to continue affecting prices and trade for these products.
U.S. Producers Remain Protected
If you make small diameter graphite electrodes in the United States, the Commission found on August 26, 2025 that revoking the antidumping order would likely cause material injury, so the order stays in place to protect U.S. industry. Domestic producers will continue to have the current trade protections against imports from China.
