Published Date: 9/19/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce decided to keep extra taxes on electrolytic manganese dioxide from China because dropping them could lead to unfair low prices again. This means importers from China will still pay these duties, protecting U.S. businesses from cheap imports. The decision is official now and will affect trade and prices going forward.

Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.
Antidumping Duties Stay in Place
If you import electrolytic manganese dioxide (EMD) from the People’s Republic of China, you will continue to pay antidumping duties on those imports. The Department of Commerce decided to keep the AD order in place because revoking it would likely lead to a return of unfairly low prices.
U.S. Producers Kept Protection
U.S. businesses that produce electrolytic manganese dioxide remain protected from potentially unfairly low-priced imports from China. The Commerce decision is intended to prevent a recurrence of dumping and maintain that protection.
Trade and Prices Will Be Affected
Commerce’s final decision to retain the AD order on EMD from China will affect trade flows and prices going forward. The notice states this outcome will influence trade and pricing for the product.
