Balchem issues statement on new EU choline chloride anti-dumping measures

As producers of choline chloride in the EU, Eastman and Balchem (BCPC) welcome the European Union’s decision published on December 19, 2025 to adopt anti-dumping duties between 90.0 and 115.9% on choline chloride imports from the People’s Republic of China. This decision, which will be effective for five years with the possibility of renewal, confirms Europe’s determination to ensure the continuation of an important part of the EU food and feed supply chain in the face of unfair trade practices from producers in China. Defending fair trade in choline chloride is essential to preserving European jobs, encouraging industrial innovation, and supporting a strong and sustainable supply chain for EU food and feed.
