Sodium Nitrite Duties from China and Germany Extended Indefinitely
Published Date: 2/12/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. is keeping extra taxes on sodium nitrite imports from Germany and China because stopping them could hurt American businesses. These rules help protect U.S. companies from unfairly cheap products. So, importers from these countries will still pay these duties for now.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Importers Keep Paying Duties
If you import sodium nitrite from the Federal Republic of Germany or the People's Republic of China, you will continue to pay the antidumping duties because Commerce is continuing the AD orders on those imports. The duties remain in place to address dumped imports from Germany and China.
U.S. Producers Remain Protected
If you are a U.S. company that makes or uses sodium nitrite, Commerce and the ITC found that revoking the AD orders would likely let dumping resume and cause material injury, so the orders are being continued to protect U.S. industry. The continuation aims to shield U.S. businesses from unfairly cheap sodium nitrite imports from Germany and China.
