China has extended anti-dumping and anti-subsidy duties on n-propanol imports from the US for five years from 6 November 2026, retaining rates of up to 267.4% and 37.7%, respectively, following a review that found the domestic industry could continue to suffer injury if the measures were lifted.
China’s Ministry of Commerce will keep anti-dumping and anti-subsidy duties on n-propanol (NPA) imports from the US for five more years. The measures take effect on 6 November 2026. The ministry announced the decision on 5 November 2026 in two notices.
Anti-dumping duties will range from 254.4% to 267.4%. Anti-subsidy duties will range from 34.2% to 37.7%. Dow Chemical Co will pay the 254.4% anti-dumping rate. OQ Chemicals Corp and other US exporters will pay 267.4%.
China first imposed the duties in November 2020 for a five-year term. Domestic producers asked the ministry to review them in November 2025. The review found that damage to China’s NPA industry would likely continue or return if the duties were lifted.
NPA goes into food packaging, printing inks, and pharmaceuticals. It is also a key part of the electrolyte in lithium batteries for new energy vehicles.
