The U.S. Department of Commerce has announced the issuance of countervailing duty orders on melamine imported from Germany, Qatar, and Trinidad and Tobago. This decision follows final determinations by both the Commerce Department and the U.S. International Trade Commission. According to these findings, the imports from Germany and Qatar have caused injury to U.S. industries, while products from Trinidad and Tobago pose a threat of future harm. Consequently, duties will be assessed on these imports to protect domestic industries.

The U.S. Department of Commerce made a final decision determining that melamine from Qatar is not being sold in the United States for less than fair value. This final ruling follows an earlier negative preliminary determination regarding the same issue.

This decision was reached after looking into sales, costs, and verifying information from relevant Qatari companies.

The International Trade Commission announced the termination of the antidumping duty investigation related to melamine from Qatar.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has made a final decision that producers and exporters of melamine from Qatar are receiving unfair subsidies. This decision was made after an investigation covering the whole year of 2023. As a result, the U.S. might impose countervailing duties on these imports if it leads to damage to U.S. industries. However, it was determined that the situation didn't create "critical circumstances" that necessitate immediate action. If the International Trade Commission confirms that U.S. industries are harmed, the Commerce Department will take further steps to impose duties on these imports.

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.
