Core Viewpoint - The U.S. Department of Commerce announced a 93.5% anti-dumping duty on imported anode-grade graphite from China, resulting in an effective tax rate of up to 160%, citing that these materials are sold below fair market value [1][3]. Group 1: Impact on Imports and Market - The new tariff will affect approximately $340 million (around 2.44 billion RMB) worth of imports based on 2023 import volumes [3]. - In the previous year, the U.S. imported 180,000 tons of graphite products, with two-thirds sourced from China [3]. - The International Energy Agency (IEA) highlighted that graphite remains a critical mineral with potential supply risks [3]. Group 2: Implications for Battery Manufacturers - The imposition of a 160% tariff is expected to increase the average cost of automotive power batteries by $7 (approximately 50.2 RMB) per kilowatt-hour, potentially eroding battery manufacturers' profits for one to two quarters [3]. - The American Active Anode Material Producers Association had previously warned that increased tariffs on imported anode materials could significantly impact companies like Tesla and Panasonic, which rely on these materials for battery and electric vehicle production in the U.S. [3]. Group 3: Broader Context of U.S.-China Trade Relations - Since the beginning of the year, the U.S. has intensified export controls on critical minerals and battery technologies from China, aiming to reduce dependency on Chinese goods and technologies [3]. - In May, the U.S. Department of Commerce initiated an independent countervailing investigation into Chinese anode-grade graphite, citing "unfair subsidies" [3].

倒计时5天 2025起点锂电圆柱电池技术论坛 暨圆柱电池20强排行榜发布会 活动主题： 聚集新 技术 探索新工艺 主办单位： 起点锂电、起点研究院（SPIR） 活动时间： 2025年2月28日 活动地点： 深圳宝安登喜路国际酒店2楼国际厅 活动规模： 500+人 路透社（2月19日）报道，一家中国公司已停止出口用于处理电动汽车电池金属锂的设备，这 表明制造商已经开始实施中国所提议出口管制。 据知情人士和路透社看到的文件显示，江 苏久吾高科技公司上月通知客户，从2月1日起将停止 出口一种名为吸附剂的过滤设备。 分析人士称，中国是世界上最大的吸附剂生产国，用于从盐水或其他含有电池金属的溶液中提 取锂，但市场规模可能很难确定。 中国商务部1月2日发布关于《中国禁止出口限制出口技术目录》调整公开征求意见的通知，意 见反馈在2月1日截止。此次目录调整计划将电池正极材料制备技术纳入限制出口部分，并加强 对提取金属镓和锂的一些技术和工艺的限制。 一家锂提取技术公司的高管透露，江苏久吾和主要生产吸附剂的蓝晓科技新材料公司，正在与 政府就上述提案进行谈判。 一些业内人士认为，尽管这项提案尚未正式实施，但它已对向"不友好国家"出 ...
