USITC Finds Reasonable Indication of Injury
On January 27, 2025, the U.S. International Trade Commission determined there is a reasonable indication that a U.S. industry is materially injured by imports of erythritol from China (HTS 2905.49.40) alleged to be sold at less than fair value and subsidized. The Commission instituted countervailing duty investigation No. 701-TA-751 and antidumping duty investigation No. 731-TA-1729 effective December 13, 2024 and has commenced the final phase process contingent on Commerce determinations.
Industrial Users, Consumers Can Participate
The Commission states that industrial users and, if the product is sold at retail, representative consumer organizations have the right to appear as parties in these antidumping and countervailing duty investigations. The Secretary will publish a public service list of parties and the Director of the Office of Investigations will circulate draft questionnaires on the Commission's EDIS for comment.
