US Delays Tariffs on Chinese Anode Materials
Published Date: 2/19/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. is delaying its first big decision on whether to add extra taxes to active anode materials imported from China. This delay gives officials more time to carefully review information from companies involved. Businesses importing or selling these materials should expect the new decision by mid-June 2025, which could affect prices and trade rules.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.
Preliminary CVD Decision Delayed to May 19, 2025
If you import or sell active anode material from the People’s Republic of China, the Department of Commerce postponed the preliminary countervailing duty (CVD) determination to no later than May 19, 2025. The preliminary had been due by March 13, 2025, and the petitioner (American Active Anode Material Producers) requested the postponement on February 6, 2025 so Commerce can analyze questionnaire responses and issue supplemental questionnaires before the preliminary decision.
Final Determination Remains 75 Days After Preliminary
Commerce stated that the deadline for the final CVD determination will continue to be 75 days after the date of the preliminary determination. Because the preliminary determination deadline was postponed under section 703(c)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act to no later than May 19, 2025, the final determination deadline will be set 75 days after the preliminary decision.
