U.S. Antidumping and Countervailing Duties on Glycine from China (A-570-836 AD; C-570-081 CVD)

This is an educational summary — NOT a scope determination or filing advice. It does not decide whether your specific goods are covered. Always verify against the latest U.S. Commerce and CBP instructions.

Glycine from China may be affected by both a U.S. antidumping order (A-570-836) and a countervailing duty order (C-570-081).

Effective/entry-specific deposit and liquidation treatment depends on Commerce and CBP instructions, not only the publication date.

Glycine imported from China may fall within the scope of two U.S. Department of Commerce orders: an antidumping duty order under case A-570-836 and a countervailing duty order under case C-570-081. Because both AD and CVD orders exist, importers may face two separate cash-deposit obligations at entry and should verify their goods carefully.

Scope — simplified screening examples, not full legal scope

The official written scope controls. The examples below are screening references only.

Products that may be covered (examples)

•Technical-grade glycine that may be used in industrial applications
•Food-grade glycine that may be used as an additive or flavor enhancer
•USP or pharmaceutical-grade glycine
•Feed-grade glycine used in animal nutrition
•Glycine in powder or crystalline form
•Glycine regardless of purity level as described in the written scope

Products that may require separate review or may fall outside this order

?Other amino acids that are not glycine (hedge: verify against scope)
?Finished pharmaceutical products containing glycine as one ingredient
?Prepared food or beverage products where glycine is only a component
?Glycine derivatives or salts that may fall outside the written scope
?Blended or formulated products depending on Commerce's scope language

Scope control: HTS codes are screening references only; Commerce's written scope language controls whether a product is covered, and unfinished, blended, or repackaged glycine may still be covered depending on that scope.

Who it affects

This typically matters for importers of glycine of Chinese origin in technical, food, feed, or pharmaceutical grades, as well as traders sourcing glycine through intermediaries who may not know the true country of origin or producer.

What the duty means

Cash deposits are collected at entry; AD and CVD rates vary by exporter/producer and administrative review and can be substantial. Because both an AD (A-570-836) and CVD (C-570-081) order exist, both deposits may apply. A 0% deposit rate is NOT an exemption — the order still applies and entries must be declared.

Importer checklist — how to assess your risk

☐Gather the commercial invoice and confirm the exact product description matches the written scope.
☐Collect product photos, spec sheets, and certificates of analysis showing grade and purity.
☐Document the material composition to confirm the product is glycine as described.
☐Identify the intended use to help assess scope applicability.
☐Obtain country-of-origin support and manufacturing records, not just supplier claims.
☐Record the specific manufacturer and exporter names, and confirm the exact producer/exporter combination.
☐Confirm the HTS classification with a licensed customs broker for screening purposes.
☐Verify the applicable cash-deposit rate against current Commerce results and CBP AD/CVD messages before filing.
☐Do not rely only on supplier statements that goods are 'not subject' — confirm independently.

Risks to watch

⚠Circumvention or transshipment findings if Chinese-origin glycine is routed through third countries.
⚠Scope inquiries where Commerce may determine a product falls within the orders.
⚠Applying the wrong exporter/producer combination and therefore an incorrect deposit rate.
⚠Misdeclaration or origin-misstatement penalties, including retroactive duty assessment.

Glycine is also the subject of proceedings involving other countries such as India, Japan, and Thailand, so importers should review each country of origin separately rather than assuming switching sources avoids all orders.

FAQ

Is there antidumping duty on glycine from China?

There is a U.S. antidumping duty order on glycine from China under case A-570-836, and a separate countervailing duty order under case C-570-081. Glycine of Chinese origin may fall within their scope; importers should verify against the written scope before entry.

Does a 0% deposit rate mean no duty?

No. A 0% cash-deposit rate is not an exemption. The order still applies, entries must be declared, and rates can change through administrative review, which may result in additional duties later.

Are parts or unassembled glycine covered?

Glycine is a chemical rather than an assembled product, but blended, formulated, lower-purity, or repackaged glycine may still be covered depending on Commerce's written scope; importers should verify each product form.

Possible risk

Risk signal: Higher concern if the goods are glycine of Chinese origin in technical, food, feed, or pharmaceutical grade; a separate review is needed for blends, formulations, derivatives, repackaged goods, and third-country processing.

Bottom line: Glycine from China may be covered by AD order A-570-836 and CVD order C-570-081; confirm scope, origin, exporter/producer identity, and current deposit rates before entry.

Not a scope determination or filing advice — confirm coverage and current deposit rates with a licensed customs broker and the latest Commerce/CBP instructions before entry.
