U.S. Delays Ruling on Chinese Graphite Electrode Duties
Published Date: 5/6/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. is investigating if China and India are unfairly helping their large diameter graphite electrode makers. Because the case is tricky and everyone’s cooperating, the government is taking more time before making a first decision, pushing the deadline from May 20 to as late as early August 2026. This means importers and manufacturers should stay tuned for updates that could affect prices and duties.
