US sets countervailing duties on Indian glycine in 2023 review
The U.S. Department of Commerce concluded in its administrative review that Indian producers and exporters of glycine received countervailable subsidies during 2023. This determination triggers countervailing duty (CVD) assessments on glycine imports from India. Shippers and importers sourcing glycine from India must now factor in additional duty costs and verify their supplier eligibility under any company-specific rates published in the final determination.

The U.S. Department of Commerce announced on June 16, 2026, its final determination in the countervailing duty administrative review of glycine from India. The Commerce Department found that countervailable subsidies were provided to certain producers and exporters of glycine during the 2023 review period (January 1 through December 31, 2023).
"The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) determines that countervailable subsidies were provided to certain producers and exporters of glycine from India during the period of review (POR) January 1, 2023, through December 31, 2023."
This determination means that glycine shipments from India will face countervailing duties imposed to offset the subsidies deemed to have distorted fair market pricing. Administrative reviews such as this one are conducted annually to recalculate duty rates based on actual subsidy findings for the relevant review period.
What this means for shippers
Importers and freight forwarders moving glycine from India into the U.S. must immediately verify which Indian producers are covered by the CVD order and at what rates. Consult the Commerce Department's final determination notice for company-specific duty margins and ensure your supplier is identified in the review. Failure to apply the correct CVD rate can trigger duty underpayment assessments and penalties. Check the full Federal Register notice for complete rate details and any exclusions or exceptions that may apply to your transaction.
