Commerce Initiates Circumvention Inquiry on MSG from China via Malaysia (A-570-992)

The U.S. Department of Commerce is investigating whether MSG imports from Malaysia are circumventing the existing antidumping duty order on MSG from China (A-570-992), following a petition by domestic producer Ajinomoto Health & Nutrition North America. The inquiry is country-wide in scope and targets potential transshipment or minor processing schemes routing Chinese MSG through Malaysia.
