In a Federal Register notice published on October 17, 2012 the U.S. Department of Commerce renewed the existing anti-dumping order against imports of pure magnesium (granular) from China. The original order was imposed on November 19, 2001, with the renewed order thus exceeding the five-year 'sunset' standard that generally applies to trade-remedy measures under WTO agreements (i.e., article 21.3 of the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures and article 11.3 of the Anti-dumping Agreement).
On February 2, 2018 the U.S. International Trade Commission determined that revoking the existing antidumping duty order on imports of pure granular magnesium from China would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time. As a result of the affirmative determination, the existing antidumping duty order on imports of this product from China will remain in place.
