The U.S. Department of Commerce has determined antidumping (AD) and countervailing duties (CVD) of up to 102.72% and 66.86%, respectively, on the imports of active anode material from China. The duty imposition followed investigations after the American Active Anode Material Producers filed petitions with Commerce and the United States International Trade Commission seeking the imposition of 920% tariffs on imports of natural and synthetic graphite from China to make lithium-ion battery anode material. The Active Anode Material Producers is a coalition of five U.S.-based firms: Anovion Technologies, Syrah Technologies, NOVONIX Anode Materials, Epsilon Advanced Materials, and SKI US.
