The U.S. Department of Commerce has started an investigation into whether the active anode material from China is being sold in the U.S. at unfairly low prices. This investigation came after American producers claimed that these imports are harming U.S. industries. The investigation will look into the pricing and production costs in China and determine if these low prices are harming or threatening U.S. industries. The International Trade Commission (ITC) will also conduct a review to check if these imports are seriously affecting the U.S. industry, and the preliminary results of this review will determine if the investigation will continue.
Simple Explanation
The U.S. government is checking if an important material used in batteries, made in China, is being sold in America for too little money, which might hurt companies in the U.S.
