Notice
Summary

Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Antidumping Duties Continue for Acetone Imports
The U.S. International Trade Commission decided to keep antidumping duties on acetone imports from Belgium, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, and Spain. That means importers of acetone from those five countries will continue paying extra duties rather than having those duties removed.
U.S. Acetone Producers and Jobs Protected
The Commission found that removing the antidumping orders would likely cause material injury to a U.S. acetone industry and therefore kept the orders in place. This decision preserves protections intended to shield U.S. acetone businesses and jobs from competition tied to dumped imports.
