US delays chromium trioxide dumping decision on Türkiye shipments
The US Department of Commerce has postponed its final dumping determination on chromium trioxide imports from Türkiye to October 5, 2026, extending provisional anti-dumping measures from four to six months. This delays the imposition of final duties on affected shipments while the investigation continues.

The U.S. Department of Commerce announced on June 16, 2026, that it is postponing the final determination in its less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation of chromium trioxide from Türkiye until October 5, 2026. Simultaneously, Commerce extended provisional anti-dumping measures from a four-month period to a period of not more than six months.
Who is affected
This postponement directly impacts importers, distributors, and end-users of chromium trioxide sourced from Türkiye. Chromium trioxide falls under HS Chapter 28 (inorganic chemicals). Shippers currently moving this product from Türkiye face extended uncertainty over final duty rates, as provisional cash deposits remain in effect pending the October determination.
What this means for shippers
Importers of chromium trioxide from Türkiye must continue posting provisional anti-dumping cash deposits on all shipments through October 5, 2026. Monitor the Federal Register for the final determination notice in early October; final duties may be assessed retroactively or refunded depending on Commerce's conclusion. Review your supply-chain strategy now—if the final determination imposes significant duties, consider accelerating imports before October or exploring alternative sourcing. Check your landed cost assumptions immediately using current provisional rates, as the final margin could shift substantially. /us-china-tariff-lookup
