ITC Keeps Duties on Stilbenic Brighteners from Asia
Published Date: 2/27/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. International Trade Commission decided to keep special taxes on certain brightening agents from China and Taiwan because removing them could hurt American businesses. This affects companies that make or use these brightening agents, keeping prices fair and protecting jobs. The decision was finalized in February 2025 after a court ordered a review, so these duties will stay in place for now.
Analyzed Economic Effects
1 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
Antidumping Duties Stay in Place
If your company imports or uses stilbenic optical brightening agents, the antidumping duty orders on these products from China and Taiwan remain in effect as of February 21, 2025. The U.S. International Trade Commission concluded that revoking the orders would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to a U.S. industry.
