The Department of Commerce has determined that producers and exporters from China are receiving countervailable subsidies for corrosion inhibitors, meaning the subsidies unfairly aid these companies and could harm U.S. competition. This final decision is part of an investigation that goes back to January 1, 2019, and covers substances like tolyltriazole and benzotriazole. The investigation will proceed into whether these imports injure or threaten U.S. industries, with potential consequences including duties on imports. The findings are available in public documents for further review.

The U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) have decided that removing antidumping and countervailing duty orders on steel racks and parts from China would likely result in unfair pricing and subsidies, harming U.S. industries.

These orders apply to steel racks and parts thereof, with specific exclusions and detailed scope described within the orders. The decision is effective from March 5, 2025, and compliance with protective measures regarding business information is required.
