Ferrovanadium Foes: Duties Stick on China and South Africa
Published Date: 3/6/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. is keeping special taxes on ferrovanadium imports from China and South Africa because stopping them could hurt American businesses. These taxes help protect U.S. industries from unfairly cheap foreign products. The decision took effect on March 3, 2026, so importers should be ready for these rules to stay in place.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Importers Continue Paying AD Deposits
If you import ferrovanadium from the People's Republic of China or South Africa, U.S. Customs and Border Protection will continue to collect antidumping (AD) cash deposits at the rates in effect at the time of entry. This continuation was published as applicable March 3, 2026 (the notice also states the effective date of continuation will be March 2, 2026).
U.S. Industry Protected From Dumping
The Department of Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission determined that revoking the antidumping orders would likely lead to dumping and material injury, so the AD orders on ferrovanadium from China and South Africa will be continued. The continuation is noted as applicable March 3, 2026 (with the notice stating the effective date will be March 2, 2026) to protect U.S. industry from unfairly cheap foreign ferrovanadium.
