The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) released final investigation data on Russian unwrought palladium imports on May 20, 2026. This procedural step moves the antidumping and countervailing duty probe into its final phase. The investigation targets Russia, currently the world’s largest producer of the metal.
Preliminary findings suggest combined duties could reach 241.93%. Involved parties must submit final comments by the May 26 deadline. The potential tariffs threaten to disrupt global palladium supply chains. Market volatility increased following the release of the final information packet.
