EU Imposes Definitive Antidumping Duties on Chinese Erythritol

The European Commission imposed definitive antidumping duties on sweetener erythritol from China on Jan. 16, the Directorate-General for Trade announced. The duties range from 34.4% to 233.3% and will be collected retroactively to June 7, 2024, at the level of provisional duties the commission imposed in July last year. The commission said the duties are needed due to the injury caused by Chinese erythritol imports to the EU industry, which was "forced to halt its erythritol production towards the end of 2022."
