On July 10, 2024, Tungsten Parts Wyoming, Inc. (“TPW”) (“Petitioners”), filed a petition for the imposition of antidumping and countervailing duties on imports from the People’s Republic of China (“China”). TPW alleges that producers and exporters from China are selling merchandise at less-than-fair-value and are subsidized by the Chinese government. If TPW successfully demonstrates that unfairly traded imports are causing material injury to the domestic industry, the U.S. government will impose antidumping and countervailing duties. Parties adversely affected by this case should consider participating at an early stage as the case is litigated before the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission. We provide further details on the allegations made in the petition as well as a case schedule below.
