The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) today determined that there is a reasonable indication that a U.S. industry is materially injured by reason of imports of methionine from France, Japan, and Spain that are allegedly 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.
As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, the U.S. Department of Commerce will continue its investigations of imports of methionine from France, Japan, and Spain, with its preliminary antidumping duty determinations due on or about January 5, 2021.
The Commission’s public report Methionine from France, Japan, and Spain (Inv. Nos. 731-TA-1534-1536 (Preliminary), USITC Publication 5120, September 2020) will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigations.
The report will be available after October 13, 2020; when available, it may be accessed on the USITC website at: https://www.usitc.gov/commission_publications_library.
