Ethyl Vanillin

Countervailing duties have recently been implemented against imports of Chinese vanillin and ethyl vanillin. The anti-dumping decision on these products is still ongoing, and we expect prices to rise in response to these additional duties.

The decision date on the anti-dumping case surrounding Vanillin and Ethyl Vanillin has been pushed back by the petitioner, delaying the timeline for new tariffs on these products. The new decision date has been set to 1/7/25, which has also pushed back the retroactive duty cutoff date. For suppliers, this offers an extremely small bit of breathing room, though many remain cautious to offer anything until a final decision is reached.

Tariffs are still under consideration for Vanillin and Ethyl Vanillin – there are ongoing negotiations between both sides, and the defense is scheduled to make its case on November 12. Retroactive tariffs remain a possibility here, and many suppliers are extremely hesitant to sell their material as a result of this.

New updates on the anti-dumping case against Vanillin and Ethyl Vanillin are expected to release in November. Until then, many suppliers remain extremely cautious of purchasing new material due to the possibility of retroactive tariffs on imports.

It seems very likely that prices for Vanillin and Ethyl Vanillin will continue to increase over the coming weeks as suppliers await a decision on the ongoing anti-dumping case.

The antidumping case against Chinese manufacturers of vanillin and ethyl vanillin has continued to make its way through the legal system. Retroactive tariffs are a possibility in this market if imports of vanillin and ethyl vanillin increase by more than 15% during the July/August timeframe.

Prices for vanillin and ethyl vanillin are expected to increase due to tariffs recently proposed by US and EU organizations against Chinese chemical manufacturers. If these tariffs are approved, it could mean additional import fees of more than 500% on certain goods, including vanillin and ethyl vanillin. As a result, we expect the market for these products to be exceptionally tight until a decision on these tariffs is reached.

Prices for Vanillin and Ethyl Vanillin have risen in response to proposed tariffs against Chinese material imported into the EU. If these new tariffs are approved, they have the potential to greatly disrupt the global vanillin and ethyl vanillin industries.
