US adds Russia unwrought palladium to anti-dumping duties
The U.S. Department of Commerce has issued final anti-dumping duty determinations on unwrought palladium imports from Russia, effective immediately. This action follows investigation findings and applies to HS Chapter 71 merchandise. Shippers moving Russian palladium into U.S. ports must recalculate landed costs and verify supplier compliance with new duty rates before clearance.

On June 18, 2026, the U.S. Department of Commerce issued final determinations imposing anti-dumping duties on unwrought palladium products originating from Russia, according to a notice published in the Federal Register.
Unwrought palladium falls under HS Chapter 71 (Natural pearls, precious and semiprecious stones, precious metals, clad metals, and related articles). The determination follows the Department's investigation into whether Russian producers were selling palladium into the U.S. market at less than fair value, a violation of U.S. anti-dumping statutes.
Who is affected
Importers, freight forwarders, and distributors sourcing unwrought palladium from Russia face immediate duty obligations on all entries subject to the determinations. Affected HS chapter 71 shipments—particularly those classified as unwrought precious metals—will incur additional assessed duties beyond standard tariff rates.
What this means for shippers
Recalculate landed cost immediately for any Russian palladium currently in transit or warehoused. Verify your supplier's anti-dumping duty status and secure updated landed-cost estimates before U.S. Customs entry. Failure to account for these duties at the border will result in liquidation delays, potential penalties, and cash-flow disruption.
