Indonesian biodiesel industry hoping US anti-dumping decision not as bad as thought

In Washington, the Commerce Department’s complaints against the Indonesian biodiesel industry supporting potential anti-dumping duties on imports have been narrowed down to two from an original eight, giving the Indonesian industry hope that when duties are announced by November 7 that they won’t be the maximum 40% that’s currently on the table. The two remaining reasons are concerns about subsidies given to biodiesel used in the domestic blending mandate, which the industry says are not applied to exports, and the country’s easy biodiesel export policies.
