China extends tariff on U.S. Dried Distillers Grain

China is extending anti-dumping tariffs on U.S. Dried Distillers Grain imports five more years.

U.S. Grains Council CEO Ryan LeGrand says it’s disappointing but not a surprise.

“We kind of expected this outcome, we did (as USGC) file a defense on behalf of the industry as we typically do with these type of cases in the anti-dumping and countervailing duty cases. But just mounted a very minimal defense because we kind of knew what the outcome was going to be.”

The move keeps tariffs amounting to as much as 66 percent on U.S.
