China's Chemical Aids Lead to U.S. Countervailing Duty Hit
Published Date: 4/25/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. government found that companies in China making certain alkyl phosphate esters are getting unfair financial help from their government. Because of this, extra taxes (called countervailing duties) will be added to these products when they enter the U.S. starting now. This means importers will pay more, helping American businesses compete fairly.

Countervailing duties on Chinese imports
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that certain alkyl phosphate esters from the People's Republic of China received government subsidies. Because of that finding, extra taxes called countervailing duties will be added to those products when they enter the United States, so importers must pay more. The period of investigation was January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023.
U.S. producers gain competitive relief
The Commerce finding is intended to help American companies that make alkyl phosphate esters compete more fairly against subsidized Chinese exporters. U.S. producers may benefit because the added countervailing duties reduce the price advantage of the imported, subsidized product. The period of investigation was January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023.
