Preliminary circumvention finding on MSG
On February 21, 2025, the U.S. Department of Commerce made a preliminary affirmative determination that some monosodium glutamate (MSG) imports from the People’s Republic of China may be circumventing an existing antidumping duty order. This finding could affect importers and exporters of MSG from China by leading to changes in duties or causing timing delays for MSG shipments while the matter proceeds.
Correction of certification paperwork
Commerce corrected three errors in the importer and exporter certifications published at Appendix II of the February 21, 2025 notice. The corrections are intended to make the certification paperwork clearer and fairer for importers and exporters of MSG.
