Tariffs on Chinese Diamond Sawblades to Continue
Published Date: 7/6/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce decided to keep extra taxes on diamond sawblades and their parts imported from China because dropping them could lead to unfair low prices again. This protects American sawblade makers from cheap imports and keeps the rules in place starting July 6, 2026. So, if you’re in the sawblade business, expect these duties to stick around for now.
Analyzed Economic Effects

Antidumping Duties Stay In Place
The Department of Commerce decided to keep antidumping duties on diamond sawblades and parts from China effective July 6, 2026. The agency found dumping would likely continue and indicated weighted-average dumping margins could be up to 164.09 percent.
Keeps Protection for U.S. Sawblade Makers
Commerce concluded that removing the antidumping order would likely let dumped imports return, so it kept the order to protect U.S. diamond sawblade producers. The decision preserves the existing trade remedy for domestic producers starting July 6, 2026.
