NOVONIX Limited acknowledged the U.S. Department of Commerce’s final determinations in the antidumping and countervailing duty investigations on anode active materials imported from China. The tariffs on AAM imported from China will be at least 160%, pending a final affirmative determination by the U.S. International Trade Commission in March 2026. This decision aims to restore fair competition in the U.S. anode materials market, strengthen domestic production, and support investment in U.S. manufacturing. The duties apply broadly to anode-graphite materials used in lithium-ion battery applications, including synthetic and natural graphite products. The previously imposed 25% and 20% tariffs on AAM imports from China remain in effect.

NOVONIX supports the transparent enforcement of U.S. trade laws and believes the determinations promote fair competition, strengthen domestic battery supply chains, and encourage long-term investment in advanced manufacturing in the U.S. With advanced synthetic graphite production capability in North America, NOVONIX aims to support customers seeking domestically produced anode materials. The company continues to expand high-performance synthetic graphite production in the U.S., reinforcing supply chain resilience, energy security, and manufacturing competitiveness. Additional information on the determinations is available through the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Enforcement and Compliance records.
