The U.S. International Trade Commission Commission (Commission or USITC) today determined there is a reasonable indication that a U.S. industry is materially injured due to imports of large diameter graphite electrodes from China and India that are allegedly sold in the United States at less than fair value and subsidized by the governments of China and India.

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 large diameter graphite electrodes from China and India.

The Commission’s public report, Large Diameter Graphite Electrodes from China and India (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-787-788 and 731-TA-1775-1776 (Preliminary), USITC Publication 5728, (April 2026), will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigations.

The report will be available by May 15, 2026; when available, it may be accessed on the USITC website.
