# China Cracks the Door Open for US DDGS Exports

> China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it will again exempt U.S. DDGS imports from the 11% value-added tax. Anti-dumping and countervailing duties from January 2017 remain in place. River slowdowns also pushed DDGS and barge prices higher in the week of November 10.

## Why it matters

Removing the VAT lowers the landed cost of U.S. DDGS into China, a key market, which supports export demand and DDGS prices, while barge delays add freight costs.
