## Summary

The U.S. Department of Commerce is changing the rules on import taxes for superabsorbent polymers from Korea after a court decision. This affects LG Chem and other Korean producers by adjusting the extra duties they must pay starting December 27, 2024. These changes make sure the taxes better match the products’ true value during the 2020-2021 period.
