> Expana reviews US tariff impacts on feed ingredients, noting the White House raised the China tariff to 20% on March 3, 2025. The added duties bring China-origin methionine to 45%, lysine HCl to 23.7%, and threonine to 27%, and further tariff changes on Canada and Mexico are described.

## Why it matters

Higher tariffs on Chinese amino acids and possible retaliation raise US feed additive import costs, which tends to lift domestic amino acid prices and tighten feed formulation options.
