The United States International Trade Commission (ITC) decided that getting rid of antidumping duty orders on silicomanganese from India, Kazakhstan, and Venezuela would likely cause harm to a U.S. industry. The ITC began these reviews on May 1, 2024, and chose to do expedited reviews in August 2024. They completed these determinations by December 4, 2024, concluding that the antidumping orders should stay in place to protect U.S. industry. This decision is documented in the ITC's publication titled Silicomanganese from India, Kazakhstan, and Venezuela: Investigation Nos. 731-TA-929-931 (Fourth Review).

The investigations began after petitions from several U.S. companies and a trade coalition, following which the Commission held a hearing in December 2020. Their final determinations were issued on January 25, 2021, confirming these findings.

Further actions will be considered under Section 301 of the Trade Act to address these issues.

The United States International Trade Commission announced that it is conducting expedited reviews to determine if removing the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on carbon and alloy steel threaded rods from China, India, Taiwan, and Thailand would likely cause harm to the U.S. industry. The Commission has decided to carry out these reviews quickly, as the domestic party response was deemed adequate while the foreign party response was not. Interested parties can submit written comments, but they must adhere to specific guidelines and deadlines. Due to the complexity of these reviews, the Commission may extend the review period by up to 90 days.

Further details and analysis can be found in the Issues and Decision Memorandum accessible online.
