Erythritol From the People's Republic of China: Final Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination
Published Date: 2/10/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that Chinese makers of erythritol, a sweetener, got unfair government help. Starting February 10, 2026, extra taxes (countervailing duties) will be added to erythritol imports from China to keep things fair for U.S. producers. This means importers will pay more, helping American businesses compete better.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.
Countervailing Duties Set for Erythritol
Starting February 10, 2026, countervailing duties will apply to erythritol imports from China. Commerce determined ad valorem subsidy rates of 4.54% for Baolingbao Biology Co., Ltd., 8.63% for Shandong Sanyuan Biotechnology Co., Ltd., and an 8.12% 'All Others' rate that will be applied to other Chinese exporters.
Helps U.S. Erythritol Producers Compete
Commerce found Chinese producers of erythritol received countervailable subsidies and imposed duties to offset those subsidies. The notice states these duties are intended to help American producers compete more fairly with imports of erythritol from China.
Cash Deposits and Suspension Dates Affect Importers
Commerce instructed U.S. Customs and Border Protection to collect cash deposits and suspend liquidation of Chinese erythritol entries entered on or after May 16, 2025. Commerce also instructed CBP to discontinue suspension for entries on or after September 13, 2025 but to continue suspension for entries on or before September 12, 2025; whether duties remain depends on a final injury determination by the U.S. International Trade Commission within 45 days.
Finished Retail Tabletop Products Excluded
The scope of the investigation explicitly excludes certain finished tabletop sugar substitute products packaged and labeled for retail sale that contain erythritol together with a high-intensity sweetener (for example, monk fruit, stevia, sucralose, aspartame, or saccharin). These finished retail goods are not covered by the countervailing duty order.
