Extra Duties Hit Chinese Epoxy Resins in Trade Ruling
Published Date: 4/3/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. says some Chinese companies making epoxy resins got unfair financial help from their government. Because of this, extra taxes (called countervailing duties) will be added to these products to keep things fair for U.S. businesses. These changes affect imports from China during 2023 and could impact prices and trade starting now.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Extra duties on Chinese epoxy resin imports
The Department of Commerce found that producers and exporters of certain epoxy resins from China received countervailable subsidies, and extra taxes called countervailing duties will be added to those imports. This applies to imports covered by the investigation period January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023 and could raise costs for U.S. importers and businesses that buy these resins.
Protects U.S. epoxy resin producers
Commerce determined subsidies were provided to Chinese producers of certain epoxy resins and made a final affirmative countervailing duty finding. That action is intended to make trade fairer for U.S. producers of epoxy resins by offsetting the subsidized imports.
