China's Tetrahydrofurfuryl Alcohol Taxed: U.S. Brewers Cheer On
Published Date: 5/5/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. government decided to keep special taxes on tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol imported from China because stopping them could hurt American businesses. This means importers from China will still pay extra fees starting April 30, 2026, helping protect U.S. companies from unfair pricing. So, if you’re involved in this trade, expect these rules and costs to stick around for now.

Analyzed Economic Effects

Importers Must Keep Paying AD Deposits
If you import tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol (THFA) from China, U.S. Customs and Border Protection will continue to collect antidumping (AD) cash deposits at the rates in effect at the time of entry for all imports of the subject merchandise. This continuation is effective April 30, 2026.
U.S. THFA Makers Protected from Dumping
The Department of Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission found that revoking the antidumping order would likely lead to dumping and material injury to a U.S. industry, so the AD order on THFA from China will continue. The continuation is intended to protect U.S. producers and is effective April 30, 2026.
Product Scope and Customs Classification
The Order covers tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol (THFA), chemical formula C5H10O2, described as a clear, water-white to pale yellow liquid, and is classifiable under HTSUS subheading 2932.13.00.00. Commerce's written description of the merchandise is dispositive for determining coverage.
