The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) recently determined that a U.S. industry is materially injured by reason of imports of methionine from Japan and Spain that the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) has determined are sold in the United States at less than fair value.
Chair Jason E. Kearns, Vice Chair Randolph J. Stayin, and Commissioners David S. Johanson, Rhonda K. Schmidtlein, and Amy A. Karpel voted in the affirmative.
The commission has been investigating the case since July 2020 based on petition filed by Novus International.
As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, Commerce will issue antidumping duty orders on imports of this product from Japan and Spain.
The Commission also made a negative critical circumstances finding with regard to imports of this product from Spain. As a result, these imports will not be subject to retroactive antidumping duties.
Methionine (an organic amino acid) and methionine hydroxy analogue (an organic acid) are primarily used in animal feed and aquaculture.
