Taiwan Epoxy Resins Hit with New U.S. Countervailing Duties
Published Date: 4/3/2025

Summary
The U.S. says some epoxy resin makers in Taiwan got unfair government help last year. Because of this, extra taxes (called countervailing duties) will be added to their products when they come to the U.S. This change starts now and means importers will pay more to keep things fair for American businesses.
Analyzed Economic Effects

Importers Face New Countervailing Duties
The Department of Commerce found that certain epoxy resins from Taiwan received government subsidies and is adding countervailing duties to those imports. This change starts now and means importers of those epoxy resins will pay more when bringing them into the U.S.; the period of investigation was January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023.
U.S. Producers Supported by Duties
Commerce said duties are being added to keep things fair for American businesses. That means U.S. producers of epoxy resins may face less competition from subsidized Taiwanese imports because those imports will carry extra countervailing duties.
