Existing Duties on Chinese Potassium Salts
Antidumping and countervailing duty orders on potassium phosphate salts from China were issued July 22, 2010 and were continued effective December 21, 2015 and July 12, 2021. The U.S. International Trade Commission instituted third five-year reviews on June 1, 2026 to decide whether revoking those orders would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury.
Deadlines to Participate and File Materials
Interested parties (including U.S. producers, importers, exporters, industrial users, and consumer organizations) must file responses by 5:15 p.m. on July 1, 2026 to be assured consideration; comments on adequacy of responses are due by 5:15 p.m. on August 10, 2026. The Secretary will accept only electronic filings through the Commission's EDIS system; paper filings are not being accepted.
Detailed Data Requests and Penalty for Non-Response
The notice requires detailed production, capacity, shipments, sales, and import data (reporting quantities in pounds and values in U.S. dollars) for specified calendar years (requests reference calendar year 2025 for importers and exporters), and estimates public reporting burden averages 15 hours per response. If a party cannot provide requested information and does not notify the Commission, or provides inadequate explanation, the Commission may draw an adverse inference under section 776(b) of the Tariff Act.
