U.S. Slaps Duties on Indonesian Fatty Acids
Published Date: 7/23/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. government found that some Indonesian producers of certain fatty acids are getting unfair financial help from their government. Because of this, extra taxes (called countervailing duties) might be added to these products to keep things fair for U.S. businesses. This decision started on July 23, 2026, and could affect prices and trade between the two countries.
Analyzed Economic Effects
1 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
16% Countervailing Duties Imposed
If you import the subject fatty acids from Indonesia, Commerce preliminarily set estimated countervailable subsidy rates of 16.47% for PT Musim Mas, 16.48% for PT Wilmar Nabati Indonesia, and 16.48% for all other producers. Beginning with entries entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after July 23, 2026, U.S. Customs and Border Protection will suspend liquidation and require a cash deposit equal to the applicable company-specific or all-others rate.
