China to keep anti-dumping, anti-subsidy tariffs on US n-Propanol imports for five more years

BEIJING, Nov ‌5 (Reuters) - China's commerce ministry said it will ​keep ‌imposing anti-subsidy and anti-dumping duties ‌on n-Propanol (NPA) imports from the US for ‌five years starting on Friday, two notices from the ministry showed.

NPA is widely ⁠used in the production ‌of food packaging ⁠and is also an important ​component of the electrolyte in lithium batteries ​for new energy vehicles.

The ​notices ‌were issued after expiry reviews ​on the measures ⁠launched last November ‌found that ​damage to ​China's NPA industry would likely continue or re-emerge if the measures were lifted.

The ‌anti-dumping duties range from 254.4% to 267.4%, while ‌the ​anti-subsidy duties range from 34.2% to 37.7%.
