USITC Votes to Continue Investigations on Active Anode Material from China

The United States International Trade Commission (Commission or USITC) today determined that there is a reasonable indication that the establishment of a U.S. industry is materially retarded by reason of imports of active anode material from China that are allegedly sold in the United States at less than fair value and subsidized by the government of China.

Chair Amy A. Karpel and Commissioners David S. Johanson and Jason E. Kearns voted in the affirmative. Commissioner Rhonda K. Schmidtlein did not participate in the vote.

As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, the U.S. Department of Commerce will continue its investigations of imports of active anode material from China, with its preliminary antidumping duty determination due on or about May 27, 2025, and its preliminary countervailing duty determination due on March 13, 2025.

The Commission’s public report, Active Anode Material from China (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-752 and 731-TA-1730 (Preliminary), USITC Publication 5585, February 2025), will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigations.
