IMA encourages U.S. to review magnesium dumping more often amid short squeeze

The International Magnesium Association encouraged the U.S. Department of Commerce to reexamine the dumping of magnesium into the country more frequently to determine if such trading conditions still exist following a recent decision to extend an antidumping order on magnesium from China amid supply concerns.

The U.S. imported 6,310 mt of magnesium in 2021, according to Commerce data. The country's magnesium imports from China spiked to 148.87 mt in 2019 and have since declined to 12.48 mt in 2021.
