The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) today determined that there is a reasonable indication that a U.S. industry is materially injured or threatened with material injury by reason of imports of silicon metal from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Iceland, and Malaysia that are allegedly sold in the United States at less than fair value and that are allegedly subsidized by the government of Kazakhstan.
Chair Jason E. Kearns, Vice Chair Randolph J. Stayin, and Commissioners David S. Johanson, Rhonda K. Schmidtlein, and Amy A. Karpel voted in the affirmative.
As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, the U.S. Department of Commerce will continue its investigations of imports of silicon metal from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Iceland, Kazakhstan, and Malaysia, with its preliminary countervailing duty determination concerning imports of this product from Kazakhstan due on or about September 23, 2020, and its preliminary antidumping duty determinations concerning imports of this product from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Iceland, and Malaysia due on or about December 7, 2020.
The Commission’s public report Silicon Metal from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Iceland, Kazakhstan, and Malaysia (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-652 and 731-TA-1524-1526 (Preliminary), USITC Publication 5107, August 2020) will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigations.
The report will be available after September 11, 2020; when available, it may be accessed on the USITC website at: https://www.usitc.gov/commission_publications_library. Read More →
