The U.S. Department of Commerce is issuing antidumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) orders on melamine imported from India. This action follows final determinations showing that these imports are being sold at less than fair value and are subsidized, which harms U.S. industries. From April 9, 2025, duties will be assessed on unliquidated entries of melamine from India. The orders also address critical circumstances and the suspension of liquidation to impose duties effectively.
Simple Explanation
The U.S. found that melamine, a chemical from India, is being sold in the U.S. very cheaply because it's unfairly priced and the Indian government is helping its producers with money support. So, starting April 9, 2025, extra payments will be charged on this melamine to make it fair for American businesses.
