Possible Import Blocks During 60‑Day Review
A complaint filed June 15, 2026 (Docket No. DN 3914) asks the Commission to issue a limited exclusion order, cease and desist orders, and require a bond on certain imported foundry coke during the 60‑day Presidential review period. If the Commission grants that relief, it could stop importation and sales of the named foundry coke products while the 60‑day review runs.
Potential Increased Demand for U.S. Producers
The notice asks parties to identify U.S.-made like or directly competitive articles and to state whether complainant, licensees, or third‑party suppliers can replace the volume of subject articles within a commercially reasonable time. If imports are excluded, U.S. producers able to supply replacement foundry coke could see increased demand.
Commission Seeks Public Interest Comments
The Commission is asking the public, government agencies, and interested parties to file comments by close of business eight calendar days after the notice (published 2026-06-22) on whether issuing the requested relief would affect public health and welfare, U.S. competitive conditions, U.S. production of like articles, or U.S. consumers. Comments should address five specific points listed in the notice about use, health/safety, replacement articles, replacement capacity, and consumer impact.
