Silicon Metal From Malaysia: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2023-2024
Published Date: 2/10/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce checked if Malaysia’s PMB Silicon sold silicon metal at unfairly low prices from August 2023 to July 2024. They found no evidence of dumping, meaning no extra duties will be added—for now. Interested folks can still share their thoughts before the final decision, which has faced several deadline extensions due to government delays.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 1 mixed.
Automatic 12.27% Assessment Rule
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to liquidate entries of subject merchandise produced by PMB Silicon for which PMB Silicon did not know the merchandise was destined for the United States at the all-others rate of 12.27%, if there is no rate for intermediate company(ies).
Cash Deposit Rate Rules and De Minimis
After the final results are published, cash deposit rates for shipments entered on or after that publication date will equal the weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results; if that rate is less than 0.50 percent it will be treated as zero. For exporters/producers not covered in this review the cash deposit rate will follow the most recently-published company-specific or all-others rate (the all-others rate is 12.27%).
Importer Reimbursement Certificate Rule
Importers must file a certificate regarding reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of relevant entries for the period August 1, 2023 through July 31, 2024; failure to file may lead Commerce to presume reimbursement occurred and to assess double antidumping duties.
Preliminary Zero Dumping Finding
Commerce preliminarily found that PMB Silicon Sdn. Bhd. had a 0.00% weighted-average dumping margin for August 1, 2023 through July 31, 2024. That means, for now, Commerce preliminarily will not assess antidumping duties on PMB Silicon's subject merchandise pending final results.
