India Initiates Antidumping Duty Review of 2-Ethyl Hexanol (2-EH) from the United States, the European Union, Indonesia, South Korea, Malaysia, and Taiwan
On September 9, 2025, India’s Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) initiated an expiry review of its antidumping duty measure on imports of 2-Ethyl Hexanol (2-EH) from the United States, the European Union, Indonesia, South Korea, Malaysia, and Taiwan. India’s AD measure on 2-EH has been in place since March 29, 2016. The AD duties currently in place for U.S. producers/exporters are about ~ 2.05 %. The subject merchandise is classified under the following Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HS) code: 2905.16.20.
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.
