Brazil Initiates Review of its Antidumping Duty on Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate from the United States, Canada, and China
Brazil Initiates Review of its Antidumping Duty on Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate from the United States, Canada, and China
On June 18, 2025, Brazil’s Department of Commercial Defense initiated an expiry review of its antidumping (AD) duty measure on imports of sodium acid pyrophosphate (SAPP) from the United States. Brazil’s AD measure on SAPP has been in place since August 15, 2014. The AD duties currently in place for U.S. producers/exporters range from $418.13 to $2,146.30 per metric ton.
What is an expiry review?
An expiry review is also known as a sunset review, and its purpose is to determine whether the revocation of the antidumping or countervailing measure would be likely to lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping or unfair subsidization and material injury to the domestic industry. The measure may only be extended beyond five years, counting from the date on which a measure was first instituted or the most recently completed expiry review, if both conditions are met.
