Vanillin From the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, Postponement of Final Determination and Extension of Provisional Measures
Published Date: 1/16/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce says vanillin from China is probably being sold in the U.S. for less than it should be. This means importers from China might face extra duties soon, but the final decision is delayed to give everyone more time to weigh in. These changes started January 16, 2025, and could affect prices and trade for companies dealing with vanillin.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 4 costs, 0 mixed.
Immediate cash deposits on vanillin imports
If you import vanillin into the U.S., U.S. Customs and Border Protection will suspend liquidation and require cash deposits for entries entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after January 16, 2025. The cash deposit rates in the preliminary determination include 186.20 percent for multiple named producer/exporter combinations and a China-wide rate of 379.87 percent.
Large preliminary dumping margins assigned
The Department of Commerce preliminarily calculated estimated weighted-average dumping margins for named Chinese producers/exporters, including Jiangxi Brother Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and several others, at 186.20 percent (adjusted margin 186.15 percent). Commerce also assigned a China-wide margin of 379.87 percent for entities that did not establish separate rates.
Final decision delayed; provisional measures extended
Commerce is postponing the final antidumping determination and extending provisional measures from four months to a period not greater than six months at the request of Jiangxi Brother. Commerce will make its final determination no later than 135 days after the date of publication of this preliminary determination.
Third-country exporters tied to supplier rates
For third-country exporters of vanillin not listed in Commerce's table, the required cash deposit rate will equal the cash deposit rate applicable to the Chinese producer/exporter (or the China-wide entity) that supplied that third-country exporter. This determines deposit rates for reshipped or third-country-origin shipments.
