USITC Votes to Continue Investigations on Vanillin from China

The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) today determined that there is a reasonable indication that a U.S. industry is materially injured by reason of imports of vanillin from China that are allegedly sold in the United States at less than fair value and subsidized by the governments of China.

Chair Amy A. Karpel and Commissioners David S. Johanson, Rhonda K. Schmidtlein, and Jason E. Kearns voted in the affirmative.

As a result of the Commission's affirmative determinations, the U.S. Department of Commerce will continue its investigations of imports of vanillin from China, with its preliminary countervailing duty determination due on or about August 29, 2024, and its preliminary antidumping duty determination due on or about November 12, 2024.

The Commission's public report Vanillin from China, (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-728 and 731-TA-1697 (Preliminary), USITC Publication 5527, July 2024) will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigations.

The report will be available by August 26, 2024; when available, it may be accessed on the USITC website at: https://www.usitc.gov/commission_publications_library.
