China will continue to impose anti-dumping duties (ADD) on n-butanol imports from Taiwan, Malaysia and the United States for five more years from December 29 this year, the country’s commerce ministry recently announced.

N-butanol is a key organic chemical used in the production of various products, including paints, adhesives and plasticisers, The extended duties will maintain the same rates as those imposed in 2018.

The decision follows a sunset review initiated in December last year at the request of the domestic n-butanol industry. The review investigated the likelihood of dumping and injury recurring if the existing measures were terminated.

The ministry found that removing ADD would likely lead to a resumption or continuation of dumping practices and subsequent harm to China's domestic n-butanol industry, a state-controlled news agency reported.
