USITC Votes to Continue Investigations on Slag Pots from China

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 slag pots 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. 

As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, the U.S. Department of Commerce will continue its investigations of imports of slag pots from China, with its preliminary antidumping duty determinations for China due on or about June 10, 2025, and its preliminary countervailing duty determinations for China on March 27, 2025.

The Commission’s public report, Slag Pots from China (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-753 and 731-TA-1731 (Preliminary), USITC Publication 5592, February 2025), will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigations.

The report will be available by March 24, 2025; when available, it may be accessed on the USITC website at https://www.usitc.gov/commission_publications_library.
