USITC Makes Determinations in Five-Year (Sunset) Reviews Concerning Silicon Metal from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Iceland, Kazakhstan, and Malaysia
The U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) today determined that revocation of the countervailing duty order on imports of silicon metal from Kazakhstan and the antidumping duty orders on silicon metal from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Iceland, and Malaysia would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time.
As a result of the USITC’s affirmative determinations, the existing orders on imports of this product from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Iceland, Kazakhstan, and Malaysia will remain in place.
Chairman Brett W. Doyle and Commissioners Jason E. Kearns, Peter-Anthony Pappas, Bart Thanhauser, and David Foley Jr. voted in the affirmative.
Today’s action comes under the five-year (sunset) review process required by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act. See the attached page for background on these five-year (sunset) reviews.
The USITC’s public report, Silicon Metal from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Iceland, Kazakhstan, and Malaysia (Inv. Nos. 701-TA- 652 and 731-TA-1524-1526 (Review), USITC Publication 5785, August 2026), will contain the views of the USITC and information developed during the reviews.
The report will be available on the USITC website by September 28, 2026.
BACKGROUND
The Uruguay Round Agreements Act requires the Department of Commerce to revoke an antidumping or countervailing duty order, or terminate a suspension agreement, after five years unless the Department of Commerce and the USITC determine that revoking the order or terminating the suspension agreement would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping or subsidies (Commerce) and of material injury (USITC) within a reasonably foreseeable time.
The USITC’s institution notice in five-year reviews requests that interested parties file responses with the USITC concerning the likely effects of revoking the order under review as well as other information. Generally, within 95 days from institution, the USITC will determine whether the responses it has received reflect an adequate or inadequate level of interest in a full review. If responses to the USITC’s notice of institution are adequate, or if other circumstances warrant a full review, the USITC conducts a full review, which includes a public hearing and issuance of questionnaires.
The USITC generally does not hold a hearing or conduct further investigative activities in expedited reviews. Commissioners base their injury determination in expedited reviews on the facts available, including the USITC’s prior injury and review determinations, responses received to its notice of institution, data collected by staff in connection with the reviews, and information provided by the Department of Commerce.
The five-year (sunset) reviews concerning Silicon Metal from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Iceland, Kazakhstan, and Malaysia were instituted on March 2, 2026.
On June 5, 2026, the USITC determined to conduct expedited five-year reviews. Commissioners David S. Johanson, Jason E. Kearns, and Amy A. Karpel concluded that the domestic interested party group responses were adequate and the respondent interested party group responses were inadequate, and voted for expedited reviews. Chairman Brett W. Doyle and Commissioners Peter-Anthony Pappas, Bart Thanhauser, and David Foley Jr. did not participate in the adequacy votes.
A record of the USITC’s vote to conduct expedited reviews is available on the investigations page for Silicon Metal from Bosnia-Herzegovina, Iceland, Kazakhstan, and Malaysia; Inv. No. 701-TA-652 and 731-TA-1524-1526 (Review).
