Malaysia Silicon Metal Escapes Antidumping Duties
Published Date: 6/23/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce checked if silicon metal from Malaysia was sold cheaper than normal in the U.S. from August 2023 to July 2024 and found it wasn’t. This means no extra taxes (antidumping duties) will be added for that period. Importers and Malaysian exporters can breathe easy as the final decision, effective June 23, 2026, keeps things steady with no money changes.
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 2 costs, 1 mixed.
No Antidumping Duty for PMB Silicon
If you import silicon metal produced by PMB Silicon Sdn. Bhd. for entries during August 1, 2023 through July 31, 2024, Commerce found a 0.00% dumping margin. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will be instructed to liquidate those entries without regard to antidumping duties.
Cash Deposit Rates for Future Shipments
For shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after June 23, 2026, the cash deposit rate for PMB Silicon will be the rate established in these final results (0.00%). For other manufacturers or exporters not covered in this review, the all-others cash deposit rate remains 12.27%. Company-specific rules for exporters/producers from prior segments also continue to apply.
Importer Certificate Requirement and Double Duty Risk
Importers must file a certificate about reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of relevant entries under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2). If an importer fails to file this certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and assess double antidumping duties.
Unreviewed Entries May Be Liquidated At All-Others Rate
For entries produced by PMB Silicon during the review period for which PMB Silicon did not know the merchandise was destined for the United States, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate those unreviewed entries at the all-others rate (12.27%) if there is no rate for intermediate company(ies) involved.
Timing of Duty Assessment and Liquidation
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after publication of these final results (publication June 23, 2026). If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, CBP will be directed not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for filing a statutory injunction request has expired (within 90 days of publication).
