What changed

The U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) has issued a final determination that imports of erythritol from China are causing material injury to the U.S. industry. This determination follows findings by the U.S. Department of Commerce that these imports are being sold at less than fair value and are subsidized by the Chinese government. Consequently, Commerce will impose antidumping and countervailing duty orders on erythritol imports from China.

These orders will result in additional duties on affected imports, impacting importers and potentially domestic manufacturers. Companies involved in the import or production of erythritol should review the USITC's findings and prepare for the imposition of these duties. The full report detailing the Commission's views will be available by April 20, 2026.

What to do next

Review USITC determination regarding erythritol imports from China.
Assess potential impact of antidumping and countervailing duties on supply chain and costs.
Consult legal counsel regarding compliance with new duty orders.

Penalties

Antidumping and countervailing duties will be imposed on imports of erythritol from China.

The U.S. International Trade Commission (Commission or USITC) today determined that a U.S. industry is materially injured by reason of imports of erythritol from China that the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) has determined are sold in the United States at less than fair value and subsidized by the government of China.

Chair Amy A. Karpel and Commissioners David S. Johanson and Jason E. Kearns voted in the affirmative.

As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, Commerce will issue an antidumping duty order and a countervailing duty order on imports of this product from China.
