Importers Still Pay Extra Duties
The U.S. International Trade Commission decided on January 31, 2025 to keep antidumping and countervailing duties on sodium nitrite from China and to keep the antidumping duty on sodium nitrite from Germany. This means importers bringing sodium nitrite from China or Germany will continue to pay extra fees when they import those goods.
U.S. Producers Maintained Trade Protection
The Commission found on January 31, 2025 that removing the duties would likely hurt U.S. industry, so the duties remain to help protect U.S. sodium nitrite producers. Domestic producers of sodium nitrite keep the trade protection provided by the existing antidumping and countervailing duty orders.
