Notice
Summary
The U.S. is investigating if Chinese erythritol imports get unfair help from their government. The first big decision on this is delayed from March 10 to a later date so everyone has more time to check the facts. This affects companies importing erythritol and could lead to extra taxes if unfair support is found.

Possible Countervailing Duties on Erythritol Imports
The investigation is looking into whether Chinese erythritol imports get unfair government support. If Commerce finds unfair support, importers could face countervailing duties (extra taxes) as a result of the preliminary or final determinations. The preliminary determination is now due by May 12, 2025 and the final determination will be 75 days after that preliminary decision.
Preliminary Determination Delayed to May 12, 2025
The preliminary decision in the countervailing duty investigation of erythritol from China was postponed from March 10, 2025 to no later than May 12, 2025. Commerce also says the final determination will be set 75 days after the preliminary decision. This gives parties more time to review and respond before a preliminary finding is announced.
