L-Lysine from China: Scheduling of Final Phase of Countervailing Duty and Antidumping Duty Investigations
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) is scheduling the final phase of countervailing duty (CVD) investigation No. 701-TA-767 and antidumping duty (AD) investigation No. 731-TA-1750 on animal feed-grade L-lysine from China. This follows affirmative preliminary determinations by the Department of Commerce that Chinese lysine is subsidized and sold in the U.S. at less than fair value, potentially injuring U.S. producers. The product scope includes lysine in forms like monohydrochloride (min. 78% lysine), sulfate (40-70% lysine), liquid (min. 50% lysine), and mixtures or processed versions, under HTSUS 2922.41.00. Petitions were filed on May 28, 2025, by U.S. producers Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), CJ Bio America, and Evonik. The final phase assesses if U.S. industry faces material injury, threat, or retardation due to these imports. Key deadlines include: staff report on June 30, 2026; prehearing briefs by July 7, 2026; hearing on July 14, 2026; posthearing briefs by July 22, 2026; and final comments by August 13, 2026. Participation requires filing an entry of appearance 21 days before the hearing via EDIS. Business proprietary information access is available under APO. All filings are electronic only, with service on parties required. This could lead to duties protecting U.S. lysine producers if injury is confirmed.
