Possible Duties on Chinese Slag Pots
The U.S. International Trade Commission has scheduled the final phase of antidumping and countervailing duty investigations Nos. 701-TA-753 and 731-TA-1731 to decide whether imports of slag pots from China (HTSUS 7309.00.00 and 8454.20.00) materially injure U.S. industry. The Department of Commerce preliminarily found these imports subsidized and sold at less-than-fair-value, and if the Commission finds injury, antidumping or countervailing duties may be imposed on those imports. If you import or manufacture slag pots, this could change import taxes, prices, and shipment timing.
