Aug. 14, 2025 - The U.S. International Trade Commission (Commission or USITC) determined that revoking the existing antidumping order on imports of small diameter graphite electrodes from China would likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time. 

As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determination, the existing order on imports of this product from China will remain in place.

Chair Amy A. Karpel and Commissioners David S. Johanson and Jason E. Kearns voted in the affirmative. 

This action comes under the five-year (sunset) review process required by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act. 

The Commission’s public report, Small Diameter Graphite Electrodes from China (Inv. No. 731-TA-1143 (Third Review), USITC Publication 5657, August 2025), will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the review. 

The report will be available by September 23, 2025; when available, it may be accessed on the USITC website.
