The EU is reviewing its anti-dumping measures on citric acid imports from China. This review will determine if removing the current duties will likely lead to continued evidence of dumping and harm to the EU's citric acid industry. Businesses involved in importing or producing citric acid should watch for possible duty changes, as the outcome could affect pricing and import strategies.
