US Slaps Duties on Epoxy Resins from Asia to Shield Local Makers
Published Date: 5/22/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. found that epoxy resins from South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand are being sold here unfairly cheap and getting government help, which hurts American companies. So, the government will take action to protect U.S. producers like Olin and Westlake. Imports from China and India won’t face duties because their impact is too small. These changes kick in soon and could affect prices and trade rules.

ITC Finds U.S. Industry Harm from Imports
The U.S. International Trade Commission determined on May 19, 2025 that imports of epoxy resins classified under HTS subheading 3907.30.00 from South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand are causing material injury to a U.S. industry. Commerce had found those products sold in the United States at less than fair value and that imports from South Korea and Taiwan were subsidized by their governments.
Investigations for China and India Ended
The Commission found imports of epoxy resins from China and India to be negligible and terminated the antidumping and countervailing duty investigations concerning those two countries. The determinations were completed and filed on May 19, 2025.
