What changed

The United States International Trade Commission (ITC) has issued a final determination finding that imports of erythritol from China are causing material injury to the domestic industry. This finding, based on investigations initiated on December 13, 2024, follows preliminary determinations by the Department of Commerce that these imports were both subsidized and sold at less than fair value (LTFV). The specific tariff classification for erythritol is subheading 2905.49.40 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States.

This determination means that antidumping and countervailing duties will be imposed on erythritol imported from China. Importers and exporters dealing with erythritol will be directly affected by these new duties. Compliance officers should review the specific duty rates and ensure that all import transactions involving erythritol from China are accurately declared and that appropriate duties are paid to avoid penalties. The ITC filed its final determinations on March 23, 2026.

What to do next

Review ITC's final determination and Commerce Department's findings on subsidies and LTFV sales.
Ensure accurate declaration of erythritol imports from China, including correct Harmonized Tariff Schedule classification.
Implement procedures to pay applicable antidumping and countervailing duties on erythritol imports from China.

Penalties

Imposition of antidumping and countervailing duties.

of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b(b)). Notice of the scheduling of the final phase of the Commission's investigations and of a public
hearing to be held in connection therewith was given by posting copies of the notice in the Office of the Secretary, U.S.
