The U.S. Department of Commerce has determined that Kazakhstan has been providing unfair subsidies to its ferrosilicon producers and exporters, resulting in an affirmative countervailing duty ruling. This investigation covered the year 2023 and included several key stakeholders like YDD Corporation and TELF AG. As a result, the Department is instructing customs to impose cash deposits on imports from all producers and exporters of ferrosilicon from Kazakhstan. The next steps involve a final decision from the U.S. International Trade Commission about potential injury to the U.S. industry, which will determine whether further duties will be enforced.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has made a preliminary decision that manufacturers in China are receiving financial support from their government for producing brake drums, which may hurt U.S. businesses. They have started an investigation covering the entire year of 2023 and are inviting feedback on this preliminary finding. The agencies involved are aligning this with a separate investigation to decide if these imports are leading to unfair competition in the form of undercutting U.S. businesses. The Commerce Department has also detailed the calculation methods for subsidy rates and invited public comments or requests for hearings on the findings.

The Department of Commerce has determined that producers and exporters of silicon metal from the Republic of Kazakhstan are receiving unfair subsidies, which impacts fair trade.

Despite being unable to conduct on-site verification due to cooperation issues, the department used available information to confirm its conclusions. If the International Trade Commission confirms material injury to U.S. industries, a countervailing duty order will be applied.
