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.

This amendment is published to ensure accuracy and compliance with trade investigation regulations.

The U.S. Department of Commerce determined that narrow woven ribbons with woven selvedge from Taiwan were sold at prices lower than normal in the U.S. during the review period from September 1, 2022, to August 31, 2023. Since no parties commented on the preliminary findings, Commerce finalized the results without changes, relying on adverse facts available for two Taiwanese companies, Hao Shyang and Lung Che. This decision means they will face antidumping duties, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection will assess these duties according to the final results. New cash deposit rates will apply based on the outcome of this review.

Interested parties can comment on this preliminary decision, and if the final determination confirms subsidies, the International Trade Commission will decide if these imports harm U.S. industry.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has determined that ferrosilicon imports from Brazil are being sold in the U.S. at less than fair value. As a result, the department is imposing antidumping duties on these imports to protect domestic industries. Two companies were investigated: Ferbasa, which received a dumping margin of 13.66%, and Minasligas, with a margin considered too small to warrant measures. The company LIASA was assigned a margin based on adverse facts, leading to a higher rate of 21.78%. The continued suspension of liquidation on these imports will remain in effect, and the case is now proceeding to the U.S. International Trade Commission to determine if the imports have caused injury to U.S. industries. If the ITC finds injury, antidumping duties will be enforced.
