Importers Face New Countervailing Duties
If you import certain tungsten shot from the People’s Republic of China, the U.S. Department of Commerce found countervailable subsidies for the period January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. Commerce is imposing countervailing duties on those imports, so importers of this product will pay extra fees to offset the subsidies.
U.S. Tungsten Producers Shielded From Subsidized Imports
The Department of Commerce determined that Chinese producers and exporters of certain tungsten shot received unfair subsidies during January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. The imposed countervailing duties are intended to protect U.S. tungsten shot producers and exporters from competition with subsidized Chinese imports.
