Tariffs Locked In on Cheap Ferrosilicon from Three Nations
Published Date: 5/16/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. found that ferrosilicon imports from Brazil, Kazakhstan, and Malaysia are being sold at unfairly low prices and getting government help, which hurts American producers. Because of this, the U.S. will keep or add duties to protect local companies like CC Metals and Ferroglobe. These changes kick in soon and could affect prices and trade starting in 2025.
