Based on final decisions made by the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission, the Commerce Department has issued antidumping duty orders on melamine imported from Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, and Trinidad and Tobago. This means that these countries have been selling melamine in the U.S. at unfairly low prices, harming American businesses. As a result, these imports will now be subject to special duties to level the playing field. The orders also detail procedures for lifting certain duties and continuing others, in accordance with U.S. tariff laws.

The Department of Defense (DoD) has announced a new arms sales notification to the Government of the Netherlands. This proposal involves the sale of various types of missiles, including 120 advanced Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missiles, along with test vehicles, training equipment, and other necessary support, all valued at approximately $908 million. The sale aims to strengthen the defense capabilities of the Netherlands, a NATO ally, without affecting the U.S.'s own military readiness. The principal contractor for the sale will be Lockheed Martin, and the sale is designed to enhance political stability and economic progress in Europe.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has made a preliminary finding that corrosion-resistant steel from the Netherlands is being sold in the U.S. at less than fair value. This investigation covers the period from July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024, and has been postponed for a final determination. Stakeholders are invited to comment on these initial findings. If the final determination is positive, the Department will take steps to address these imports, which could include requiring deposits or other measures.

The United States International Trade Commission determined that imports of melamine from Germany, Japan, and the Netherlands are harming U.S. industries because they are being sold at unfairly low prices. Additionally, imports from Germany and Qatar are subsidized, contributing to this harm. The Commission found that imports from Trinidad and Tobago also pose a threat of injury for similar reasons. These investigations began in February 2024 following petitions from a U.S. chemical company and included a public hearing in December 2024.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has made a final decision that melamine imported from the Netherlands is likely being sold in the U.S. at prices below fair value. This determination, which covers January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023, did not change from the preliminary findings as no comments were submitted by interested parties. OCI Nitrogen B.V., a key company involved, stopped participating in the investigation, leading the Department to use adverse facts available for their assessment. The estimated dumping margin is set at 53.50% for other producers and exporters, and further actions now depend on the U.S. International Trade Commission's injury assessment.
