U.S. Keeps Duties on Refined Brown Aluminum Oxide from China

Estimated reading time: 1–7 minutes

The United States International Trade Commission (ITC) has made a decision about refined brown aluminum oxide from China. This material is important for some industries in the United States.

The ITC finished a five-year review. The review was called Investigation No. 731-TA-1022 (Fourth Review). The Commission looked at whether to keep or remove the antidumping duty order on this product.

The decision was based on information in the official record. The Commission worked under the rules of the Tariff Act of 1930.

The ITC chose to keep the antidumping duty order. It found that ending the order would be likely to cause “continuation or recurrence of material injury” to U.S. industry in the near future.

The review started on February 3, 2025. This was published in the Federal Register, volume 90, page 8812. On May 9, 2025, the ITC said it would do an expedited review. This was published on May 23, 2025, in the Federal Register, volume 90, page 22113.

The Commission made its final decision and completed its determination on July 3, 2025. The details are in USITC Publication 5645, dated July 2025.

The order was officially posted by Lisa Barton, Secretary to the Commission, on July 3, 2025.

The Federal Register notice is number 2025-12665, and it appeared in volume 90, number 128, on July 8, 2025, on page 30096.

The ITC stated that revoking the antidumping order on refined brown aluminum oxide from China would hurt U.S. industry. So, the duties will stay in place.
