China to keep anti-dumping, anti-subsidy duties on DDGS from US

CHINA’S commerce ministry said on Wednesday (Jan 11) it will continue to impose anti-dumping and anti-subsidy tariffs on distillers dried grains (DDGS) imported from the United States after a one-year review period expires on Jan 11.

The anti-dumping tariffs are between 42.2 per cent and 53.7 per cent while anti-subsidy tariffs range from 11.2 per cent to 12 per cent.

DDGS are a protein-rich byproduct of ethanol production that is fed to animals.

China’s tariffs on the US feed ingredient were first implemented in 2016, causing a sharp decline in imports. REUTERS
