Commerce Finalizes Duties on South Korean Acetone

## Summary

The U.S. Department of Commerce found that Kumho P&B Chemicals from South Korea sold acetone in the U.S. at unfairly low prices between March 2024 and February 2025. Because of this, extra duties will apply to their imports starting June 9, 2026, to keep things fair for American businesses. No changes were made after the review, so these results are final and set to protect the market.

## Abstract

The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) determines that Kumho P&B Chemicals, Inc. (KPB), a producer/exporter subject to this administrative review, made sales of acetone from the Republic of Korea (Korea) at less than normal value during the period of review (POR) March 1, 2024, through February 28, 2025.

## Effects PRIA read

- Automatic Assessment at All‑Others Rate: cost, high. Commerce will apply its automatic-assessment practice for entries of KPB-produced acetone when KPB did not know the merchandise was destined for the United States; those entries will be liquidated at the all-others rate of 33.10% if there is no rate for the intermediate company. This applies to ent…
- Importer Duty‑Reimbursement Certificate Requirement: cost, medium. Importers must file a certificate about whether antidumping duties were reimbursed before liquidation of relevant entries during this review period, as required by 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2).
