Published Date: 5/14/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. government found that Indian makers of chromium trioxide are getting unfair financial help from their government. Because of this, extra taxes (called countervailing duties) might be added to their products to keep things fair for U.S. businesses. This decision started on May 14, 2026, and could affect prices and trade between the two countries soon.
