Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce decided to keep the special taxes on certain corrosion inhibitors from China because stopping them could let unfairly cheap products flood the market again. This affects Chinese exporters and U.S. manufacturers who make similar products. The decision started on May 19, 2026, and means these extra costs will stay in place to protect American businesses.
