Possible New Duties on Erythritol Imports
The U.S. International Trade Commission has started the final phase of antidumping and countervailing duty investigations (Nos. 701-TA-751 and 731-TA-1729) on erythritol imports from China (HTSUS subheading 2905.49.40). Commerce has preliminarily found these imports subsidized and sold at less-than-fair-value, and if the final finding is adverse, importers could face new duties on those imports.
Potential Relief for U.S. Erythritol Producers
The investigation will decide whether imports of erythritol from China are materially injuring U.S. producers; an adverse final finding could lead to duties that help U.S. erythritol producers compete against subsidized or dumped imports. The action is tied to investigation Nos. 701-TA-751 and 731-TA-1729 and product classification HTSUS 2905.49.40.
