U.S. International Trade Commission Extends Antidumping Order on Activated Carbon Imports from China

Calgon Carbon Corporation (NYSE: CCC) reported that the U.S.
International Trade Commission (ITC) announced today that the
antidumping order on imports of steam activated carbon imported into the
U.S. from China will remain in effect for at least five years.

Importers of Chinese activated carbon will be required to make cash
deposits of estimated antidumping tariffs when the carbon enters the
U.S. Tariff rates will be determined annually by the U.S. Department of
Commerce (DOC). At the end of the five-year period, the DOC and ITC will
conduct a second 'sunset? review to determine if the antidumping order
should be continued.

The current average tariff rate which, was announced by the DOC in
November of 2012, is $0.47 per pound and will remain in effect until
November 2013. Calgon Carbon′s tariff on activated carbon imported into
the U.S. from China is currently $0.00.

Randy Dearth, Calgon Carbon′s president and chief executive officer,
commented, 'We are very pleased with the ITC′s decision, and are
optimistic that during the next five years the antidumping order on
Chinese activated carbon will encourage fair market pricing that
reflects demand and manufacturing costs for activated carbon produced in
the U.S.?
