The U.S. Department of Commerce has made a final decision that producers and exporters of melamine from Qatar are receiving unfair subsidies.

The department will require cash deposits from importers to offset the unfair pricing and has identified that "critical circumstances" exist for these imports, meaning there could be significant harm to U.S. industry if these goods continue to flow into the country under current pricing. The final determination on this matter has been postponed, with provisional measures extended to ensure all relevant data is considered before a final decision is made.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has determined that melamine from Japan is being sold in the U.S. at less than fair value, which means it's being sold for less than it costs to produce.
