Commerce Keeps Tariffs on Chinese Tetrahydrofurfuryl Alcohol Imports
Published Date: 4/10/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce decided to keep extra taxes on tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol imported from China because dropping them could lead to unfair low prices again. This affects Chinese exporters and U.S. producers, helping protect American businesses from cheap imports. The decision is effective April 10, 2026, so the current rules and duties stay in place for now.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Antidumping Duties Remain in Place
If you import tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol (THFA) from China, the extra antidumping taxes on those imports will remain in effect as of April 10, 2026. The Department of Commerce found revoking the order would likely lead to dumping and said dumping margins likely to prevail could be up to 136.86 percent.
U.S. Producers Protected From Dumping
If you are a U.S. producer of THFA, the antidumping duty order remains in place to protect domestic production effective April 10, 2026. Commerce concluded revoking the order would likely lead to continued or recurring dumping and kept measures that protect American producers from low-priced imports.
Chinese Exporters Face Large Margins
Exporters of THFA from the People’s Republic of China face continuation of the antidumping order effective April 10, 2026. Commerce stated the magnitude of the dumping margins likely to prevail would be weighted-average dumping margins up to 136.86 percent.
