USITC Makes Determinations Concerning Imports of Silicon Metal from Australia and Norway

The United States International Trade Commission (Commission or USITC) today determined that a U.S. industry is materially injured by reason of imports of silicon metal from Australia and Norway 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 governments of Australia and Norway. 

Chairman Brett W. Doyle and Commissioners David S. Johanson, Jason E. Kearns, and Amy A. Karpel voted in affirmative. Commissioner Peter-Anthony Pappas did not participate in the vote.

As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, Commerce will issue antidumping and countervailing duty orders on imports of this product from Australia and Norway.   

The Commission’s public report on Silicon Metal from Australia and Norway (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-760, 701-TA-762, 731-TA-1744, and 731-TA-1746 (Final), USITC Publication 5774, August 2026) will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigations.

The report will be available on the USITC website by September 11, 2026.
