The U.S. Department of Commerce has determined that melamine from Trinidad and Tobago is being sold in the U.S. at less than fair value, which is a violation of trade laws.

The calculated dumping margin for Methanol Holdings and a 98.32% rate for all other producers and exporters continue to apply. The U.S. International Trade Commission will decide whether U.S. industries are harmed or threatened by these imports within 45 days of the official notice.

The department has made changes to the dumping margin calculations for Toyo Kohan, a Japanese company, and has set new cash deposit rates beginning December 3, 2024.
