Risk of anti-dumping investigation

In 2012, CP Kelco of the United States sued Chinese and Austrian xanthan gum manufacturers to the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission. The U.S. Department of Commerce immediately launched an anti-dumping investigation and formally ruled in July 2013 to impose tariffs on xanthan gum imported from China. On June 1, 2018, the United States launched the first anti-dumping sunset review investigation on Chinese xanthan gum. On September 26, 2018, the U.S. Department of Commerce made the first anti-dumping sunset review final ruling on xanthan gum imported from China. On October 2, 2023, the U.S. Department of Commerce launched the second anti-dumping sunset review investigation on xanthan gum imported from China.
