The U.S. Department of Commerce has determined that Kazakhstan has been providing unfair subsidies to its ferrosilicon producers and exporters, resulting in an affirmative countervailing duty ruling. This investigation covered the year 2023 and included several key stakeholders like YDD Corporation and TELF AG. As a result, the Department is instructing customs to impose cash deposits on imports from all producers and exporters of ferrosilicon from Kazakhstan. The next steps involve a final decision from the U.S. International Trade Commission about potential injury to the U.S. industry, which will determine whether further duties will be enforced.

The Department of Commerce has preliminarily determined that imports of certain uncoated paper rolls from Brazil are circumventing existing antidumping duty orders, which are meant to protect U.S. industry from unfair foreign pricing.

Importers who fail to provide this certification will be required to pay antidumping duties. The Department invites comments on this preliminary decision and has notified the U.S. International Trade Commission about the findings.
