UPDATE: China extends five-year ADDs on ethanolamine imports

SINGAPORE (ICIS)–China has extended its antidumping duties (ADD) on imports of ethanolamines from four countries, for another five years from 30 October.

The extension was necessary to prevent potential dumping activities from damaging the country’s domestic industries, China’s Ministry of Commerce said on 29 October 2024.

China’s ADDs on ethanolamines from the US, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia and Thailand first came into effect on 29 October 2018.

The ADD quantum remains unchanged as below:

Country	Company	ADD rates
US	The Dow Chemical Company	76.0%
US	INEOS Americas LLC	97.1%
US	Huntsman Petrochemical LLC	97.1%
US	All Others	97.1%
Saudi Arabia	Saudi Basic Industries Corporation	10.1%
Saudi Arabia	All Others	27.9%
Malaysia	PETRONAS CHEMICAL DERIVATIVES SDN BHD/ PETRONAS CHEMICALS MARKETING(LABUAN) LTD	18.3%
Malaysia	All Others	20.3%
Thailand	TOC GLYCOL COMPANY LIMITED	37.6%
Thailand	All Others	37.6%

In late October 2023, when the ADD period was due to expire, the ministry announced that it would conduct a year-long review following requests by Chinese participants.
