[SMM Tin News] US Makes Preliminary Anti-dumping Determination on Tinplate

On September 17, 2026, the US Department of Commerce issued a notice announcing its preliminary affirmative determination in the antidumping duty investigation on tinplate imported from China, preliminarily finding a dumping margin of 136.52% for Chinese exporters/producers (adjusted to 130.17% after offsetting subsidies as the cash deposit rate). Because the enterprises involved failed to respond to the investigation, the US reached its determination using adverse facts available. The products subject to this investigation are primarily classified under US HS codes 7210.11.0000, 7210.12.0000, 7210.50.0020, 7210.50.0090, 7212.10.0000, 7212.50.0000, 7225.99.0090, and 7226.99.0180.
