INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION
[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-787-788 and 731-TA-1775-1776 (Preliminary)]
Large Diameter Graphite Electrodes From China and India;
Determinations
On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject
investigations, the United States International Trade Commission
(``Commission'') determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the
Act''), that there is a reasonable indication that an industry in the
United States is materially injured by reason of imports of large
diameter graphite electrodes from China and India, provided for in
statistical reporting number 8545.11.0020 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States, that are alleged to be sold in the
United States at less than fair value (``LTFV'') and imports of the
subject merchandise from China and India that are alleged to be
subsidized by the governments of China and India.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The record is defined in Sec. 207.2(f) of the Commission's
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).
\2\ 91 FR 13577 and 91 FR 13581, March 20, 2026.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commencement of Final Phase Investigations
Pursuant to section 207.18 of the Commission's rules, the
Commission also gives notice of the commencement of the final phase of
its investigations. The Commission will issue a final phase notice of
scheduling, which will be published in the Federal Register as provided
in Sec. 207.21 of the Commission's rules, upon notice from the U.S.
Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') of affirmative preliminary
determinations in the investigations under Sec. Sec. 703(b) or 733(b)
of the Act, or, if the preliminary determinations are negative, upon
notice of affirmative final determinations in those investigations
under Sec. Sec. 705(a) or 735(a) of the Act. Parties that filed
entries of appearance in the preliminary phase of the investigations
need not enter a separate appearance for the final phase of the
investigations. Any other party may file an entry of appearance for the
final phase of the investigations after publication of the final phase
notice of scheduling. Industrial users, and, if the merchandise under
investigation is sold at the retail level, representative consumer
organizations have the right to appear as parties in Commission
antidumping and countervailing duty investigations. The Secretary will
prepare a public service list containing the names and addresses of all
persons, or their representatives, who are parties to the
investigations. As provided in section 207.20 of the Commission's
rules, the Director of the Office of Investigations will circulate
draft questionnaires for the final phase of the investigations to
parties to the investigations, placing copies on the Commission's
Electronic Document Information System (EDIS, <a href="https://edis.usitc.gov">https://edis.usitc.gov</a>),
for comment.
Background
On February 24, 2026, Resonac Graphite America Inc., Ridgeville,
South Carolina; and Tokai Carbon GE LLC, Charlotte, North Carolina,
filed petitions with the Commission and Commerce, alleging that an
industry in the United States is materially injured or threatened with
material injury by reason of subsidized imports of large diameter
graphite electrodes from China and India and LTFV imports of large
diameter graphite electrodes from China and India. Accordingly,
effective February 24, 2026, the Commission instituted countervailing
duty investigation Nos. 701-TA-787-788 and antidumping duty
investigation Nos. 731-TA-1775-1776 (Preliminary).
Notice of the institution of the Commission's investigations and of
a public conference to be held in connection therewith was given by
posting copies of the notice in the Office of the Secretary, U.S.
International Trade Commission, Washington, DC, and by publishing the
notice in the Federal Register of February 27, 2026 (91 FR 9885). The
Commission conducted its conference on March 17, 2026. All persons who
requested the opportunity were permitted to participate.
The Commission made these determinations pursuant to Sec. Sec.
703(a) and 733(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(a) and 1673b(a)). It
completed and filed its determinations in these investigations on April
10, 2026. The views of the Commission are contained in USITC
Publication 5728 (April 2026), entitled Large Diameter Graphite
Electrodes from China and India: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-787-788 and
731-TA-1775-1776 (Preliminary).
By order of the Commission.
Issued: April 10, 2026.
