Russia's Cheap Palladium Faces U.S. Tariff Wrath in Trade Probe
Published Date: 2/19/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that Russia is selling unwrought palladium in the U.S. for less than it should, which might hurt American businesses. This means extra duties could be added soon to make things fair. The investigation covers sales from January to June 2025, and people can share their thoughts before the final decision.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 4 costs, 0 mixed.
132.83% Cash Deposit for Russian Palladium
If you import unwrought palladium from Russia, U.S. Customs and Border Protection will be instructed to suspend liquidation and require a cash deposit equal to the estimated dumping margin of 132.83% for entries on or after February 19, 2026. That cash deposit rate applies to Russian producers/exporters that have not established separate rates.
Third-Country Exporters Face Same Deposit
If a third-country exporter imports unwrought palladium that was supplied by a Russia producer/exporter not listed in the notice, that third-country exporter must pay the same cash deposit rate tied to the Russia-wide entity. The Russia-wide deposit rate used in this preliminary determination is 132.83%.
Russia-Wide Rate Set Because of Noncooperation
Commerce preliminarily applied facts available with adverse inferences and assigned a Russia-wide estimated dumping margin of 132.83% because the mandatory respondent did not cooperate; Commerce will not conduct verification in this investigation.
Which Goods Are Covered (HTSUS Codes)
The subject merchandise is unwrought palladium as described in the scope and is currently classified under HTSUS subheading 7110.21.0000 and may also enter under HTSUS subheading 7110.29.0000. The written scope description controls what is covered.
