Summary

Analyzed Economic Effects

Extra duties on Chinese L‑Lysine imports

U.S. L‑Lysine producers shielded
If you own or run a U.S. company that makes L‑Lysine, this final determination is designed to protect your business by making low‑priced Chinese imports more expensive. The decision aims to level the playing field for American producers and will take effect soon.
Decision aims to protect industry jobs
If you work in the U.S. L‑Lysine industry, this decision is intended to help protect jobs by reducing competition from unfairly low‑priced Chinese imports. The Commerce Department says the measure will take effect soon to protect U.S. businesses and employment.
