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.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has issued a final determination that melamine from Germany is being sold in the U.S. for less than fair value, which is considered dumping. Due to a lack of participation from LAT Nitrogen Piesteritz GmbH, the main respondent, the Department used adverse facts available to set a high dumping margin of 179.24% for other producers. This decision mirrors an earlier preliminary determination. If the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) finds that this dumping harms the domestic industry, antidumping duties will be applied to future imports.

The U.S. Department of Commerce made a final decision determining that melamine from Qatar is not being sold in the United States for less than fair value. This final ruling follows an earlier negative preliminary determination regarding the same issue. As a result of this negative determination, there will be no suspension of liquidation or cash deposits required for imports of melamine from Qatar, and the case is considered closed. This decision was reached after looking into sales, costs, and verifying information from relevant Qatari companies.

The U.S. Department of Commerce is issuing antidumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) orders on melamine imported from India. This action follows final determinations showing that these imports are being sold at less than fair value and are subsidized, which harms U.S. industries. From April 9, 2025, duties will be assessed on unliquidated entries of melamine from India. The orders also address critical circumstances and the suspension of liquidation to impose duties effectively.

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. No new comments were submitted, so the decision remains the same as the preliminary findings, applying adverse facts available (AFA) to Methanol Holdings (Trinidad) Limited for not participating. 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. If harm is found, antidumping duties will be enforced; otherwise, deposits will be refunded.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has determined that producers and exporters of melamine from Germany are receiving government subsidies. This investigation covers the period from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023. Because no comments were received on the preliminary findings, the Department adopted the preliminary determinations as final without changes. If the U.S. International Trade Commission confirms that these imports harm U.S. industry, a countervailing duty will be applied to balance the effects of the subsidies.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has finalized a decision that melamine imported from India is being sold in the U.S. at prices lower than fair value. This applies to melamine from one particular company, Gujarat State Fertilizers and Chemicals Limited, but not to other Indian producers. As a result, the department will direct U.S. Customs to collect deposits based on estimated dumping margins to counter low-priced imports, continuing measures from their preliminary findings. The International Trade Commission will also decide soon whether these imports harm U.S. industry, which could lead to additional duties.

The International Trade Commission announced the termination of the antidumping duty investigation related to melamine from Qatar. This decision follows a negative final determination by the Department of Commerce, which was published in the Federal Register on December 9, 2024. The investigation, initially identified as Investigation No. 731-TA-1671 (Final), has now been formally concluded.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has made a final decision that producers and exporters of melamine from Qatar are receiving unfair subsidies. This decision was made after an investigation covering the whole year of 2023. As a result, the U.S. might impose countervailing duties on these imports if it leads to damage to U.S. industries. However, it was determined that the situation didn't create "critical circumstances" that necessitate immediate action. If the International Trade Commission confirms that U.S. industries are harmed, the Commerce Department will take further steps to impose duties on these imports.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has concluded that producers and exporters of melamine from Trinidad and Tobago are benefiting from government subsidies, which are against trade rules. This investigation covers the year 2023, and no changes were made to the scope since the initial findings. If the U.S. International Trade Commission also concludes that these imports harm the domestic industry, a countervailing duty will be applied to these imports. If no harm is found, the investigation will be terminated, and any duties collected will be refunded.
