Tariffs Stick on China's Weird Alcohol Chemical Import
Published Date: 4/30/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. government has decided to keep extra taxes on Tetrahydrofurfuryl Alcohol imported from China because removing them could hurt American businesses. This means importers will still pay these duties, helping protect U.S. industries. The decision was finalized in April 2026 after a careful review that started in late 2025.

Antidumping Duties Stay in Place
The antidumping duty order on tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol from China will remain in effect. Importers of this chemical will continue to pay the antidumping duties after the Commission completed its review and filed its determination on April 27, 2026 (the review was instituted October 1, 2025 and an expedited review was determined on February 23, 2026).
U.S. Industry Protection Maintained
The U.S. International Trade Commission found that removing the antidumping duty would likely lead to material injury to a U.S. industry, so the duty order will be retained. This determination, completed and filed on April 27, 2026, keeps protection in place for the affected U.S. industry.
