Analyzed Economic Effects

Duties Imposed on China Imports
If you import certain alkyl phosphate esters from the People's Republic of China, the U.S. has issued antidumping and countervailing duty orders that require importers to pay extra fees on those shipments. These duties take effect starting now.
U.S. Producers Get Trade Protection
U.S. companies that make certain alkyl phosphate esters will be shielded from unfairly low-priced imports and foreign government subsidies because Commerce and the ITC issued antidumping and countervailing duty orders. The orders are intended to help U.S. producers compete more fairly.
Supply-Chain Costs and Timing Changes
If your business deals with these alkyl phosphate esters (as an importer, processor, or user), expect changes that could affect your costs and shipping or timing for receiving materials due to the new duty orders. Plan for potential price and timing adjustments in your supply chain.
