Commission finds possible U.S. industry harm
On January 2, 2026, the U.S. International Trade Commission found a reasonable indication that U.S. industry is materially injured by imports of chromium trioxide from India and Turkey (HTSUS subheading 2819.10.00). The finding arose from petitions filed September 29, 2025 and is part of preliminary investigations Nos. 701-TA-779 and 731-TA-1765-1766.
Imports face possible antidumping/countervailing duties
Imports of chromium trioxide from India and Turkey are subject to preliminary antidumping investigations (Nos. 731-TA-1765-1766) and imports from India are subject to a preliminary countervailing duty investigation (No. 701-TA-779). These investigations, instituted effective September 29, 2025 and reported January 2, 2026, could lead to additional import duties or other trade remedies on that merchandise.
