US Finds Injury From Imports of Slag Pots From China Estimated reading time: 2–3 minutes The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) has completed its investigations into imports of slag pots from China. The Commission found that U.S. industry is materially injured because these Chinese imports are sold at less than fair value and are subsidized by the government of China. Slag pots are identified under subheadings 7309.00.00 and 8454.20.00 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States. The USITC started this investigation on December 31, 2024. The investigation began after a petition was filed by WHEMCO-Steel Castings, Inc. from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Earlier, the U.S. Department of Commerce determined that slag pots from China were being sold in the United States at less than fair value (LTFV) and were also being subsidized. A public hearing for these investigations was held by the Commission on August 27, 2025. Everyone who asked to take part in the hearing was able to do so. There was a temporary pause in import injury investigations due to a lapse in appropriations and the stopping of Commission operations. All investigations were tolled, or put on hold, according to U.S. laws. The Commission made its determinations under the Tariff Act of 1930, specifically under sections 705(b) and 735(b). The final findings in the investigations were completed and filed by the Commission on November 25, 2025. Commissioner David S. Johanson agreed with the majority that there is harm, but said the industry is threatened with material injury, rather than already injured. The views of the Commission can be found in USITC Publication 5679, released in November 2025. The official record of this action is recorded in the Federal Register, Volume 90, Number 228, issued Monday, December 1, 2025. The notice of the Commission’s final actions was issued by Susan Orndoff, Supervisory Attorney, on November 26, 2025.
