Description

The U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission have issued antidumping duty orders on silicon metal imported from Angola and the Lao People's Democratic Republic. These orders follow affirmative final determinations that imports of silicon metal from these countries are being sold at less than fair value and materially injure the U.S. industry. The orders impose antidumping duties on unliquidated entries of silicon metal from these countries effective April 16, 2026, with specific cash deposit rates assigned to producers and exporters.
