Turkish Brake Drum Makers Face Duties Over Government Support

## Summary

The U.S. Department of Commerce found that some brake drum makers in Türkiye got unfair government help, so they’re adding extra taxes on those imports starting June 18, 2025. This means U.S. companies selling brake drums won’t have to compete with unfairly cheap products, and buyers might see price changes. The investigation covered all of 2023 and aims to keep trade fair and square.

## Abstract

The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) determines that countervailable subsidies are being provided to producers and exporters of certain brake drums from the Republic of T[uuml]rkiye (T[uuml]rkiye). The period of investigation is January 1, 2023, through December 31, 2023.
