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. This decision follows a previous preliminary finding and aligns with similar investigations involving Bosnia, Herzegovina, and Iceland. 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.

The Department of Commerce has determined that silicon metal imports from Bosnia and Iceland are being sold in the U.S. at unfairly low prices. They confirmed that critical circumstances exist for silicon metal from Iceland, meaning there may be immediate harm to U.S. industries. As a result, U.S. Customs will continue to hold off on processing these imports and require a deposit to cover potential anti-dumping duties. The International Trade Commission will soon decide if U.S. industries are being harmed, which might lead to the imposition of extra duties on these imports.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has completed its review of silicon metal imports from Malaysia for the period of August 1, 2022, to July 31, 2023, and determined that these imports were not sold below their normal value in the U.S. market during this time. As a result, PMB Silicon, a Malaysian company, will not face additional antidumping duties, and the relevant U.S. imports will be processed without these extra charges. The customs deposit rate will remain at 12.27% for companies not specifically covered in the review. Importers are reminded to comply with regulatory requirements to avoid penalties.
