US Commerce Dept sets 93.5% anti-dumping tariff on Chinese anode graphite
July 17 (Reuters) - The U.S. Commerce Department said on Thursday it will impose preliminary anti-dumping duties of 93.5% on anode-grade graphite imported from China after concluding that the materials, which are a key component for electric vehicle batteries, are being sold in the U.S. at less than fair market value. A Commerce Department fact sheet seen by Reuters shows a single anti-dumping margin and cash deposit rate of 93.5% for all Chinese producers. The order affects imports valued at $347.1 million in 2023, Commerce said. The duties apply to anode-grade graphite material with a graphite minimum purity content of 90% carbon by weight, and can be synthetic graphite, natural graphite or a blend of the two. A separate but parallel anti-subsidy investigation into Chinese anode grade graphite materials by the Commerce Department on May 20 resulted in a preliminary countervailing duty, opens new tab of 6.55% for most producers but 712.03% for Huzhou Kaijin New Energy Technology Corp and 721.03% for Shanghai Shaosheng Knitted Sweat (sic). Final anti-dumping and anti-subsidy duties for the material are due by December 5, 2025. The petitioner in both the anti-dumping and anti-subsidy cases is the American Active Anode Material Producers, an ad hoc coalition of U.S. producers. It includes Anovion Technologies of Sanborn, New York, Syrah Technologies LLC of Vidalia, Louisiana, Novonix Anode Materials ( opens new tab of Chattanooga, Tennessee, Epsilon Advanced Materials of Leland, North Carolina, and SKI US Inc of Marietta, Georgia.

Feds plan steep tariffs on Chinese graphite in blow to Musk
The Trump administration signaled it intends to impose steep tariffs on imports of Chinese graphite used to make electric vehicle batteries, marking a win for American producers but a blow to Elon Musk's Tesla. The Commerce Department on Tuesday released a preliminary determination — as part of an ongoing probe for the International Trade Commission — that found imports of Chinese graphite are being unfairly subsidized and laid out a plan to impose tariffs of up to 721 percent on some natural and artificial graphite active anode material from China that's used to make lithium-ion battery anode material. The agency's ruling names three distinct companies that will face tariffs, with Huzhou Kaijin New Energy Technology facing the highest tariffs. The ITC still needs to approve the finding, which could happen in December. Advertisement The department is also conducting a separate anti-dumping duty investigation of active anode material from China.
