Federal Officials Keep Duties on Mexico and China’s Specialty Bricks

## Summary

The U.S. Department of Commerce decided to keep special taxes on magnesia carbon bricks from Mexico and China because dropping them could lead to unfair low prices again. This means U.S. brick makers stay protected from cheap imports starting November 4, 2026. If you’re in the brick business, these rules affect how much you pay and sell.

## Abstract

The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) finds that revocation of the antidumping duty (AD) orders on magnesia carbon bricks (bricks) from Mexico and the People's Republic of China (China) would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping, at the levels indicated in the "Final Results of Sunset Reviews" section of this notice.

## Effects PRIA read

- Antidumping Orders Continue Effective Nov 4: benefit, medium. The Department of Commerce decided not to revoke the antidumping duty orders on magnesia carbon bricks from Mexico and China. The decision is applicable November 4, 2026, meaning the existing antidumping duty orders published in 2010 remain in place.
- Large Dumping Margins Found for Imports: cost, high. Commerce found that if the orders were revoked, the likely weighted-average dumping margins would be up to 57.90 percent for Mexico and up to 236.00 percent for China. These percentages are the magnitudes Commerce identified as likely to prevail if the orders were revoked.
