1.
On 09/16/2026, Commerce published in the Federal Register its antidumping duty order on L-lysine (lysine) from the People's Republic of China (91 FR 58627).
2.
The merchandise covered by this order is animal feed grade L-lysine (lysine).
Lysine is an essential amino acid added to animal feed that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins.
The scope covers lysine regardless of form, including lysine monohydrochloride, also referred to as lysine HCL, lysine sulfate, and liquid lysine.
The scope includes lysine that has been coated or encapsulated for use with ruminants to ensure bioavailability.
Lysine HCL in the dry form has the molecular formula C6H14N2O2HCl.
The Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) registry number for lysine HCL is 657-27-2.
Lysine HCL contains a minimum of 78 percent lysine by weight, as well as additional amino acids, carbohydrates, mineral salts, and organic acids.
Lysine sulfate is the sulfate salt of lysine, and in the dry form it has the molecular formula C6H16N2O6S.
The CAS registry number for lysine sulfate is 60343-69-3.
Lysine sulfate typically contains approximately 40-70 percent lysine by weight, as well as additional amino acids, carbohydrates, mineral salts, and organic acids.
Liquid lysine is a concentrated form of lysine in an aqueous solution with the molecular formula C6H14N2O2.
The CAS registry number for liquid lysine is 56-87-1.
Liquid lysine normally contains at least 50 percent lysine by weight, as well as additional amino acids, carbohydrates, mineral salts, and organic acids.
The scope includes animal feed grade lysine that is combined with other products, including for example, by mixing, blending, compounding, or granulating (e.g., base mixes, premixes, and concentrates).
For such combined products, only the lysine component is covered by the scope of these orders.
Subject merchandise also includes lysine that has been processed in a third country, including by commingling, diluting, adding or removing additives, refining, converting from liquid to dry or dry to liquid form, coating or encapsulating, or performing any processing that would not otherwise remove the merchandise from the scope of these orders if performed in the subject country.
The merchandise covered by these orders is properly classified under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) subheading 2922.41.0090.
Lysine may also be classified under HTSUS subheadings 2922.41.0010, 2922.49.4950, 2309.90.7000, and 2309.90.9500.
Although the HTSUS subheadings and the CAS registry numbers are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope of these orders is dispositive.
3.
For imports of lysine from the People's Republic of China, CBP shall suspend liquidation of entries of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 09/08/2026 (the date on which the International Trade Commission published its final determination in the Federal Register).
Effective 09/08/2026, CBP shall require a cash deposit equal to the percentages for the exporter/producer combinations identified below.
These cash deposit rates have been adjusted to reflect the appropriate subsidy offsets determined in the companion countervailing duty proceeding.
