U.S. International Trade Commission Schedules Expedited Review of Electrolytic Manganese Dioxide from China
Estimated reading time: 3–5 minutes
The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) has announced that it will conduct an expedited five-year review of the antidumping duty order on electrolytic manganese dioxide imported from China.
The review is being done under the Tariff Act of 1930. This is to decide if removing the antidumping duty would lead to more injury to U.S. businesses in the near future.
Important Dates
The schedule began on September 5, 2025. A report about the investigation will be shared with approved parties on October 30, 2025. The public version of the report will be released later.
Parties who are part of this review and have responded correctly can send their written comments to the Commission. These comments are due by 5:15 p.m. on November 5, 2025. The comments must not have any new facts.
Anyone who is not a party in this case can also send a short written statement by November 5, 2025. These statements also cannot contain new facts.
Who Is Involved
The Commission said the domestic interested parties’ responses were enough. It noted that the responses from the opposing parties were not enough. Because of this, the Commission is moving forward with an expedited review instead of a full review.
The companies, EMD Acquisition LLC d/b/a Borman Specialty Materials and Vibrantz Technologies Inc., were found to have provided sufficient responses.
Comments from other interested parties will not be accepted.
Filing Procedures
If anyone files documents for the review, a certificate of service must be included. This means that each filing must also be sent to all other parties in the review.
If the Department of Commerce takes more time to finish its part of the review, the deadline for comments will shift. In this case, comments would be due three business days after Commerce’s results.
More rules about this are in the Commission’s Handbook on Filing Procedures, which can be found on the USITC website.
Extended Timeline
The Commission has decided that this is an extraordinarily complicated review. Because of this, the review period may be extended for up to 90 more days, as allowed by law.
