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.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has determined that dioctyl terephthalate (DOTP) from Taiwan is being sold in the U.S. at less than fair value, a practice known as dumping, for the period from January 1, 2023, through December 31, 2023. The department issued its final determination on March 20, 2025, continuing to apply penalties to two companies that did not comply with the investigation. They also set a weighted-average dumping margin for other companies based on a margin specific to Nan Ya Plastics Corp. Commerce will continue holding DOTP imports from Taiwan and requiring cash deposits until a final decision is made by the U.S. International Trade Commission.
