China's commerce ministry said it will keep imposing anti-dumping and anti-subsidy duties on n-Propanol (NPA) imports from the US for five years starting on Friday, according to two notices from the ministry.
The anti-dumping duties range from 254.4% to 267.4%, while the anti-subsidy duties range from 34.2% to 37.7%, the notices showed.
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.
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.
