Xanthan Gum From the People’s Republic of China: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Final Determination of No Shipments; 2022-2023
U.S. Announces Final Antidumping Duty Results for Xanthan Gum Imports from China Estimated reading time: 3–5 minutes U.S. Department of Commerce Releases Final Review Results The U.S. Department of Commerce has released the final results of its administrative review of antidumping duties on xanthan gum from the People’s Republic of China. The review covers the period from July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2023. Companies Reviewed and Determined Dumping Margins Commerce determined that Deosen Biochemical (Ordos) Ltd. (Deosen) and Neimenggu Fufeng Biotechnologies Co., Ltd. (Fufeng Group, including Inner Mongolia Fufeng Biotechnologies Co., Ltd., Shandong Fufeng Fermentation Co., Ltd., and Xinjiang Fufeng Biotechnologies Co., Ltd.) sold xanthan gum in the U.S. at less than normal value during the review period. Two other companies, Jianlong Biotechnology Co., Ltd. and CP Kelco (Shandong) Biological Company Limited, were found eligible for separate rates. Commerce also found that Shanghai Smart Chemicals Co. Ltd. and Deosen Biochemical Ltd. did not have shipments of subject merchandise during the review period. Final Weighted-Average Dumping Margins Deosen Biochemical (Ordos) Ltd.: 6.46% Neimenggu Fufeng Biotechnologies Co., Ltd./Shandong Fufeng Fermentation Co., Ltd./Xinjiang Fufeng Biotechnologies Co., Ltd.: 0.00% Non-examined but separate rate companies: Jianlong Biotechnology Co., Ltd.: 6.46% CP Kelco (Shandong) Biological Company Limited: 6.46% Method of Determining Separate Rates Because only Deosen had a rate that was not zero, that rate (6.46%) was used for the separate rate companies. Fufeng’s weighted-average dumping margin was zero. China-Wide Entity Rate Companies that did not qualify for a separate rate remain part of the China-wide entity. The rate for the China-wide entity remains 154.07%. Commerce continues to deny separate rate status to companies listed in Appendix II of the notice. Assessment Rates Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all relevant entries. For Deosen, importer-specific rates will be calculated. If an importer-specific rate is zero or de minimis (0.50% or below), no duties will be collected. For Fufeng, because its dumping margin is zero, CBP will liquidate those entries without collecting duties. For separate rate respondents (CP Kelco (Shandong) and Jianlong), the assessment rate will be 6.46%. Companies part of the China-wide entity will have an assessment rate of 154.07%. Cash Deposit Requirements Exporters listed above: cash deposit rate is as above. Previously reviewed exporters with a separate rate not listed: their last published rate applies. All other China exporters with no separate rate: China-wide entity rate of 154.07% applies. All non-China exporters: the rate of the supplying China exporter applies. These rates become effective for imports entered, or withdrawn for consumption, on or after May 27, 2025, and will stay in effect until notice. No Shipments Determination Commerce confirmed that Shanghai Smart Chemicals Co. Ltd. and Deosen Biochemical Ltd. had no shipments during the review period. Reimbursement and Protective Orders Importers must file certificates confirming they have not been reimbursed for antidumping duties, as required by regulations. Failure to comply may result in double duties. Parties subject to administrative protective orders (APO) must return or destroy proprietary information as required. Further Information The full list of issues, calculations, and company-specific details are available in the Issues and Decision Memorandum and Appendix sections of the notice. Final results were published by Abdelali Elouaradia, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, on May 20, 2025.

2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid From India and the People’s Republic of China: Antidumping Duty Orders
U.S. Imposes Antidumping Duties on 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid from India and China Estimated reading time: 4–6 minutes The United States Department of Commerce has issued antidumping duty orders on 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid (2,4-D) from India and the People’s Republic of China. This action is based on investigations by the Department of Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC). Background On April 7, 2025, the Department of Commerce published its final decisions that 2,4-D from India and China was being sold in the U.S. for less than fair value. On May 16, 2025, the ITC found that the U.S. industry is hurt by dumped imports of 2,4-D from these countries. Scope of the Orders These orders cover 2,4-D and its derivative products, such as salt and ester forms. 2,4-D is identified by the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) number 94-75-7. The orders include various forms of 2,4-D salts and esters, like sodium salt and butoxyethyl ester. All forms, regardless of purity, size, or physical condition, are included. The country of origin for any salt or ester is defined by where the 2,4-D acid is produced. The affected products are classified under several Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) codes, but the written order description decides what is covered. Duty Rates Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to collect antidumping duties equal to the amount by which normal value exceeds the export price. The duties apply to shipments entered on or after November 14, 2024. India: Atul Limited: dumping margin 25.85%, cash deposit 20.62% Meghmani Organics Limited: dumping margin 6.10%, cash deposit 3.18% All Others: dumping margin 15.98%, cash deposit 11.90% China: China-Wide Entity: dumping margin 127.21%, cash deposit 126.58% Provisional Measures Suspension of liquidation due to these duties started on November 14, 2024. These measures lasted for six months and ended on May 12, 2025. Any 2,4-D entered from May 13, 2025, to the day before these final orders were published, will not be subject to duties, but duties and suspension resume from the date of publication. Annual Inquiry Service Lists Commerce will make an online annual inquiry service list for these orders. Parties interested in these cases should file an entry of appearance in the Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Electronic Service System (ACCESS) within 30 days of the order publication. Special Instructions Petitioners and the governments of India and China will be placed on the annual inquiry service list automatically after their first entry. They do not need to submit again each year unless they need to make changes. Further Information More information about current Antidumping and Countervailing Duty orders can be found at: https://www.trade.gov/datavisualization/adcvd-proceedings Conclusion These orders are now in effect as of May 27, 2025. They are enforced and published under the relevant U.S. laws and regulations.

2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid From the People’s Republic of China and India: Countervailing Duty Orders
U.S. Issues Countervailing Duty Orders on 2,4-D Herbicide from China and India Estimated reading time: 5–9 minutes On May 27, 2025, the Department of Commerce announced new countervailing duty (CVD) orders on 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) from China and India. This decision follows final rulings from both Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC). Key Details The U.S. government found that U.S. industry is being harmed by subsidized imports of 2,4-D from these countries. The ITC confirmed this injury on May 16, 2025. The companies must now face countervailing duties. These are extra fees applied to imported goods that get unfair help from their home country’s government. Who Is Affected For China: Jiangxi Tianyu Chemical Co., Ltd. and its related companies: 26.50% Shandong Rainbow Agrosciences Co., Ltd. and its related companies: 169.63% All other producers or exporters: 26.50% For India: Atul Limited: 5.29% Meghmani Organics Limited and its related companies: 6.32% All other producers or exporters: 5.88% Effective Dates The duties apply to entries of 2,4-D from China and India that came into the U.S. on or after September 13, 2024. However, goods imported between January 11, 2025, and before May 27, 2025, are not subject to these duties. During this period, the U.S. government paused the extra fees. Customs officers will now collect cash deposits equal to the subsidy rates shown. These will stay in effect until further notice. What Is Covered The order covers 2,4-D and its salt and ester forms. This includes products with the following chemical numbers and forms: 2,4-D (CAS 94-75-7) 2,4-D sodium salt (CAS 2702-72-9) 2,4-D diethanolamine salt (CAS 5742-19-8) 2,4-D dimethyl amine salt (CAS 2008-39-1) 2,4-D isopropylamine salt (CAS 5742-17-6) 2,4-D tri-isopropanolamine salt (CAS 3234180-3) 2,4-D choline salt (CAS 1048373-72-3) 2,4-D butoxyethyl ester (CAS 1929-733) 2,4-D 2-ethylhexylester (CAS 1928-43-4) 2,4-D isopropylester (CAS 94-11-1) The order covers these items no matter their purity, size, or form. If 2,4-D acid is changed to a salt or ester, it is still covered. Mixed products are covered only for their 2,4-D amount. The country where the 2,4-D acid is made counts as the origin. These chemicals usually fall under HTSUS codes 2918.99.2010 and others listed in the notice. Administrative Details There will be an annual inquiry service list for these orders. Interested parties must enter their appearance on the online system within 30 days after this announcement. Petitioners and foreign governments need to appear on the first list but will stay on future lists automatically. Contact information can be updated as needed.

Rules and Procedures The review will follow the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure found in 19 CFR part 201 and 19 CFR part 207.

Written comments containing business proprietary information (BPI) must follow requirements listed in 19 CFR 201.6, 207.3, and 207.7.

Other interested party comments will not be accepted. Service and Certification Documents filed by any party must be served to all other parties involved in the review. A certificate of service must be attached. Without this certificate, the Secretary will not accept the document for filing. Timeline Extension The Commission considers this review to be extraordinarily complicated. It has chosen to extend the review period by up to 90 days according to 19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)(B). Authority This action is authorized under Title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930. The notice has been published following section 207.62 of the Commission’s rules.
