L-Lysine Trade Probe Delayed by Shutdown Shenanigans

Published Date: 12/31/2025

Notice

Summary

The U.S. is delaying its first decision on whether L-Lysine from China is being sold unfairly. This affects companies importing or selling L-Lysine, pushing the deadline to January 12, 2026, because of government shutdown delays and a big pile-up of paperwork. More time means a fairer review, but businesses should stay alert for updates that might impact prices or trade rules.

Preliminary Dumping Decision Delayed to March 3, 2026

The Department of Commerce postponed the preliminary less‑than‑fair‑value (antidumping) determination for L‑Lysine from the People’s Republic of China by 50 days to the 190‑day statutory limit. Commerce will issue the preliminary determination no later than March 3, 2026, and the final determination will be 75 days after the preliminary determination unless postponed again. This delay directly affects companies that import or sell L‑Lysine because the timing of possible duties, price effects, or trade rules will remain uncertain until the new deadlines.
