Active Anode Material from China Does Not Materially Retard the Establishment of a U.S. Industry, Says USITC

The U.S. International Trade Commission (Commission or USITC) today determined that imports of active anode material from China that the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) has determined are sold in the United States at less than fair value and subsidized by the government of China have not materially retarded the establishment of an industry in the United States.

Chair Amy A. Karpel and Commissioner David S. Johanson voted in the negative.  Commissioner Jason E. Kearns voted in the affirmative. 

As a result of the Commission’s negative determinations, Commerce will not issue an antidumping duty order or a countervailing duty order on imports of this product from China.

The Commission’s public report, Active Anode Material from China (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-752 and 731-TA-1730 (Final), USITC Publication 5719, March 2026), will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigations.

The report will be available by April 26, 2026; when available, it may be accessed on the USITC website.

Status of proceedings, links to relevant documents, and more information about the investigations can be found at the Commission’s Investigations Database System (IDS).
