中國商務部 announced that it will extend anti-dumping duties on U.S. imports of n-propanol for 5 years from Nov. 6, 2026. The rates will remain at their 2020 levels: 254.4% for Dow Chemical and as high as 267.4% for OQ Chemical, in a bid to prevent renewed injury from dumping.

Facts:
- 中國商務部 has decided to continue imposing anti-dumping duties on n-propanol imported from the United States from Nov. 6, 2026, for a period of 5 years.
- The anti-dumping duty rate applicable to 陶氏化學公司 is 254.4%.
- OQ化學公司 and other U.S. companies face anti-dumping duty rates of up to 267.4%.
- The products covered and duty rates under this extension will remain as specified in the original 2020 ruling.
- N-propanol is widely used in solvents for food-packaging inks, propyl acetate—an important component of electrolyte solutions for lithium batteries in new energy vehicles—and as a raw material for antibiotic drugs such as erythromycin.
- The high duty rates will strip U.S. companies of their price competitiveness in the Chinese market, helping local Chinese producers maintain market share and pricing flexibility.
- Value-added tax at the import stage is levied ad valorem on the taxable value, which includes anti-dumping duties.
