USITC Issues Affirmative Preliminary Determination in Trade Case Against Imports of Ferrosilicon from Brazil, Kazakhstan, Malaysia and Russia

Published

–News Direct–

The U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) preliminarily determined today that ferrosilicon imports from Brazil, Kazakhstan, Malaysia and Russia are causing material injury to the U.S. industry. All four Commissioners voted in the affirmative.

The Commissions unanimous vote comes in response to petitions filed on March 28 by CC Metals and Alloys, LLC (CC Metals) and Ferroglobe USA, Inc. (Ferroglobe), who together account for all American ferrosilicon production. The petitions allege that unfairly priced and subsidized ferrosilicon imports are injuring the U.S. industry and its workers. Ferrosilicon is a critical input used to produce steel and foundry products, making preservation of the American industry a matter closely related to significant national security priorities.

Producers in Russia, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, and Brazil are using predatory pricing practices to take market share from American producers. This distorts the market and puts American workers out of jobs, said Marco Levi, Chief Executive Officer of Ferroglobe PLC. Todays vote is encouraging. It brings us one step closer to ensuring a level playing field. On April 17, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) initiated eight antidumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) investigations into imports of ferrosilicon from Russia, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, and Brazil.

"Today's vote validates the data in our petitions and questionnaires showing the serious harm inflicted by unfair imports," said Chris Cobb, Plant Manager of CC Metals and Alloys, Inc. "We applaud the USITC for taking this step toward restoring fair competition to the U.S. market and confidence to U.S. workers and consumers. We look forward to seeing our trade laws enforced.

Commerce is continuing its investigations and will make preliminary CVD determinations as early as June 2024 and AD determinations as early as September 2024. If the determinations are affirmative, provisional AD and CVD duties will be collected based on the preliminary margins calculated by Commerce and potentially applied retroactively.

DePIN Hunter redefines the new world of Web3

Published

on

With the rapid development of technology and the acceleration of global digital transformation, decentralized technology is becoming the core of the new generation of Internet revolution. As a platform that integrates DeSci (decentralized science), DeTraffic (decentralized traffic), DAO (decentralized autonomous organization) and fog computing technology, DePIN Hunter is leading the future of Web3 and artificial intelligence (AI).

DePIN Hunter

DePIN Hunter is committed to building a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) that provides unparalleled support for big data traffic and content distribution through its distributed physical hardware and powerful AI computing capabilities. This infrastructure greatly reduces reliance on traditional centralized infrastructure and significantly enhances the stability and scalability of the platform.

AI big data traffic engine technology is another major technical highlight of the platform. It can process and analyze massive data in real time, provide personalized experiences based on user behavior and preferences, and optimize content distribution strategies. This not only improves the user experience, but also enhances the market adaptability and responsiveness of content providers.

The application of fog computing technology shifts data processing tasks from the central cloud to the edge of the network, that is, near users and data sources. This transformation greatly reduces data transmission delays and improves processing efficiency, which is especially valuable in applications such as the Internet of Things, smart cities, and remote monitoring.

DePIN Hunter has completely changed the limitations of traditional business models through its circular ecological model, achieving an organic combination of technology and business. This circular ecological model combines AI and encryption technology, media and aggregate traffic, and DePIN hardware to form a self-reinforcing system. Every technological advancement of the platform is directly fed back to the ecological model, enhancing its overall performance and user experience, while also creating substantial economic value for ecosystem participants.

The addition of the chain reform project further expands the functions and market applications of the DePIN Hunter ecosystem. By digitizing real-world assets and using blockchain technology to manage them, these projects not only increase the liquidity and transparency of assets, but also seamlessly connect traditional assets to the digital economic system. For example, DePIN Hunter’s RWA (real assets on-chain) module introduces traditional assets such as real estate and energy into the blockchain through chain reform technology, realizing the digitization of asset registration, tracking and transactions.

DePIN Hunter

In DePIN Hunter’s economic model, the DPH token plays a vital role. As a governance rights token, DPH is used in the platform for various functions such as transactions, transfers, payment of circulation GAS fees, and participation in governance voting. This token economics model not only ensures the autonomy and flexibility of the system, but also provides users with economic incentives to directly participate in platform profitability, thereby promoting the long-term development and healthy operation of the platform.

DePIN Hunter’s future plans focus on continuing to promote technological innovation and expand its business influence. As the technology further matures and the market expands, DePIN Hunter is expected to play an increasingly important role in the global Web3 field. From technological innovation to business models, DePIN Hunter is working tirelessly to build a more open, secure and efficient digital future.

DePIN Hunter is more than just a technology platform. Its vision is to stimulate innovation vitality on a global scale through innovative technology and open business models, promote the widespread application of decentralized technology, and ultimately achieve a freer and fairer digital world.
