China imposed new anti-dumping duties of 33.3%–78.2% on certain US optical fiber imports after a six-month investigation.
US firms hit include Corning (37.9%), OFS Fitel (33.3%), and Draka Communications Americas (78.2%).
The Chinese Ministry of Commerce said US exporters evaded existing duties by altering trading methods.
The levies, effective Thursday, run until April 21, 2028, aligning with tariffs imposed in 2023.
Analysts say the move likely responds to Washington’s recent curbs on China’s chip sector, escalating trade tensions.
