Erythritol From China: Antidumping Duty and Countervailing Duty Orders Issued

The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) and the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) have jointly issued antidumping duty (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) orders on erythritol imported from the People's Republic of China, effective March 27, 2026. These orders follow affirmative final determinations by both agencies that Chinese erythritol is being sold in the U.S. at less than fair value (dumping) and is benefiting from Chinese government subsidies. Antidumping duties are designed to offset the price difference between the dumped export price and the fair market value, while countervailing duties target the financial subsidies provided by the Chinese government to erythritol producers. Together, these measures aim to level the competitive playing field for domestic U.S. erythritol producers. Erythritol is a sugar alcohol used as a low-calorie sweetener in food and beverage products. U.S. importers of Chinese erythritol will now be required to post cash deposits or bonds covering the applicable AD and CVD rates at the time of entry. The orders remain in effect indefinitely unless revoked through a sunset review or changed circumstances review.
