The U.S. International Trade Commission (Commission or USITC) today determined that there is a reasonable indication that a U.S. industry is materially injured by reason of imports of sol gel alumina-based ceramic abrasive grains from China that are allegedly sold in the United States at less than fair value from China 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 vote.
As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, the U.S. Department of Commerce will continue its investigations of imports of sol gel alumina-based ceramic abrasive grains from China, with its preliminary antidumping duty determination for China due on or about May 27, 2025, and its preliminary countervailing duty determination for China on March 12, 2025.
The Commission’s public report, Sol Gel Alumina-Based Ceramic Abrasive Grains from China (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-750 and 731-TA-1728 (Preliminary), USITC Publication 5581, February 2025), will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigations.
The report will be available by March 5, 2025; when available, it may be accessed on the USITC website at: https://www.usitc.gov/commission_publications_library.
