    The U.S. Department of Commerce has announced the issuance of countervailing duty orders on melamine imported from Germany, Qatar, and Trinidad and Tobago. This decision follows final determinations by both the Commerce Department and the U.S. International Trade Commission. According to these findings, the imports from Germany and Qatar have caused injury to U.S. industries, while products from Trinidad and Tobago pose a threat of future harm. Consequently, duties will be assessed on these imports to protect domestic industries.
