Acetone From Belgium, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, and Spain; Determinations
Published Date: 2/2/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. International Trade Commission decided to keep special taxes on acetone imports from Belgium, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, and Spain. They believe removing these taxes would hurt American acetone makers soon. This means importers will keep paying extra fees, protecting U.S. businesses and jobs.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Antidumping Duties Continue for Acetone Imports
The U.S. International Trade Commission decided to keep antidumping duties on acetone imports from Belgium, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, and Spain. That means importers of acetone from those five countries will continue paying extra duties rather than having those duties removed.
U.S. Acetone Producers and Jobs Protected
The Commission found that removing the antidumping orders would likely cause material injury to a U.S. acetone industry and therefore kept the orders in place. This decision preserves protections intended to shield U.S. acetone businesses and jobs from competition tied to dumped imports.
