United States Government to Reinstate Section 301 Import Tariffs on Artificial Graphite from China
31 Mai 2024 - 3:41AM
NOVONIX Limited (NASDAQ: NVX, ASX: NVX) (“NOVONIX”), a leading
battery materials and technology company, today applauded the
recent announcement by the United States Trade Representative
(USTR) on Section 301 tariffs, removing the current exclusions and
reimposing the 25% tariff on artificial graphite and natural
graphite powder imported from China effective June 15, 2024.1 In
addition, USTR previously announced new tariffs on natural flake
graphite on May 14, 2024, increasing to 25% in 2026.2
Dr. Chris Burns, CEO of NOVONIX, said, “We are
pleased to see the Biden Administration and the USTR formally
recognize the significance of the Section 301 tariffs to protect
the investments being made by companies like NOVONIX. Employing
this trade tool will help to level an otherwise disparate playing
field and support our efforts to localize the production of
battery-grade graphite.”
Artificial graphite is the predominant anode
material used today in lithium-ion batteries. This decision by the
US government is critical for building a local supply chain that
has been dominated by China for decades. NOVONIX’s artificial
graphite production processes focus on large-scale and sustainable
production to advance the North American battery supply chain, with
its Riverside operations on track to be the first large-scale
battery-grade artificial graphite facility in North America.
The North American Graphite Association (NAGA), of
which NOVONIX is a member, has been actively engaged in support of
this decision and commented in a recent press release.3
This announcement has been authorized for release
by NOVONIX Chairman, Admiral Robert J. Natter, USN Ret.
