Notice of Extension of the Deadline for Determining the Adequacy of the Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Petitions: Lithium Hexafluorophosphate From the People's Republic of China
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The U.S. Department of Commerce has extended the deadline to determine whether antidumping and countervailing duty petitions on imports of lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) from China meet industry support requirements. The petitions were filed on March 5, 2026 by Mexichem Fluor Inc. dba Orbia Fluor & Energy Materials. Because it is unclear if the petitions are supported by at least 25% of total domestic production and more than 50% of the production of the portion of the industry expressing a view, Commerce is using its authority to extend the decision period by 20 days. The new deadline for the initiation determination is April 14, 2026. The agency will gather additional information on industry support before deciding whether to initiate investigations.
