L-Lysine From China; Scheduling of the Final Phase of Countervailing Duty and Antidumping Duty Investigations

Brief takeaway: The ITC has scheduled the final phase of AD/CVD investigations on animal feed-grade L-lysine from China, a step that could lead to duties on these imports.

What changed: According to the notice, the Commission is scheduling the final phase of antidumping and countervailing duty investigations (Nos. 701-TA-767 and 731-TA-1750) to determine whether a U.S. industry is materially injured or threatened by these imports. The notice states that Commerce has preliminarily determined the product to be subsidized and sold at less-than-fair-value.

Who's affected: The notice names animal feed-grade L-lysine from China, provided for in HTS subheading 2922.41.00. The cited country of origin is China.

What to review:
- Review whether your imported product falls within the described animal feed-grade L-lysine and the cited HTS subheading 2922.41.00.
- Confirm with your broker the country of origin of your L-lysine and whether these investigations may be relevant to your entries.
- Check the status and any preliminary or final determinations, rates, and effective dates as the investigations proceed.
- Confirm potential recordkeeping, cash deposit, or duty exposure implications with your broker or trade counsel.
