Urgent US Anti-Dumping and Countervailing Duties Announced on Epoxy Resins from Five Regions

On March 31, 2025, the U.S. Department of Commerce issued a final ruling on anti-dumping duties for epoxy resins imported from China, India, South Korea, Thailand, and Taiwan. Due to the lack of participation from Chinese companies in the investigation, the dumping margin for Chinese producers/exporters has been set at an alarming 354.99%. For Indian producers/exporters, the margin ranges from 12.69% to 15.68%, while for South Korean producers/exporters, it stands between 5.62% and 7.59%. Thai producers/exporters face a margin of 5.25%, and those from Taiwan are subject to a margin of 10.93% to 26.98%.

Simultaneously, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced its final ruling on countervailing duties for epoxy resins from the same regions. Again, due to non-participation by Chinese companies, the tax rate for Jiangsu Sanmu Group Co., Ltd., Shandong Bluestar Dongda Chemical, and other Chinese producers/exporters has been set at 547.76%. Indian producers/exporters will see rates between 10.66% and 103.72%, while South Korean rates range from 1.01% to 1.84%. Taiwan producers/exporters will face a rate between 3.38% and 19.13%. The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) is expected to render a final decision on industry harm related to anti-dumping and countervailing duties by May 12, 2025.

This case involves products classified under U.S. Customs Code 3907.30.0000.

On April 23, 2024, the U.S. Department of Commerce had initiated investigations into anti-dumping and countervailing duties for epoxy resins imported from China, India, South Korea, and Taiwan, while also starting an anti-dumping investigation for imports from Thailand.
