Japan's Glycine Hit with U.S. Dumping Duties for Fair Trade
Published Date: 4/29/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that some Japanese companies sold glycine in the U.S. for less than fair value between June 2023 and May 2024. Because of this, certain importers might have to pay extra duties starting April 29, 2026. This decision affects businesses importing glycine from Japan and aims to keep trade fair and square.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 3 costs, 0 mixed.
Antidumping Duties on Glycine Imports
If you import glycine from Japan, you may have to pay extra antidumping duties for sales during June 1, 2023 through May 31, 2024. Commerce found weighted-average dumping margins of 9.84% for Yuki Gosei Kogyo Co., Ltd./Nagase & Co., Ltd. and 86.22% for Resonac Corporation; duties are applicable April 29, 2026 and Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess duties.
Cash Deposit Rates for New Shipments
Starting on publication (April 29, 2026), importers must post cash deposits for glycine shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after that date. The cash deposit rates will equal the final weighted-average dumping margins (9.84% for YGK/Nagase and 86.22% for Resonac), while the all-others rate remains 53.66% and previously established company-specific rates remain in effect where applicable.
Duty Reimbursement Certificate Requirement
Importers must file a certificate about whether antidumping duties were reimbursed before liquidation of the relevant entries during the period of review, per 19 CFR 351.402(f). If an importer fails to file the certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and may assess doubled antidumping duties.
