The U.S. Department of Commerce has determined that producers and exporters of melamine in India are receiving unfair government subsidies, which is negatively impacting U.S. industries. The investigation focused on Gujarat State Fertilizers and Chemicals Limited and covered the year 2023. Although Gujarat Fertilizers did not fully cooperate, Commerce found that unfair subsidies were still being provided. The International Trade Commission will now decide if these imports harm the U.S. industry, which could lead to the imposition of countervailing duties on those imports.

Based on final decisions made by the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission, the Commerce Department has issued antidumping duty orders on melamine imported from Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, and Trinidad and Tobago. This means that these countries have been selling melamine in the U.S. at unfairly low prices, harming American businesses. As a result, these imports will now be subject to special duties to level the playing field. The orders also detail procedures for lifting certain duties and continuing others, in accordance with U.S. tariff laws.
