# Indonesia to Challenge U.S Antidumping Duty on Biodiesel - The Insiders Stories

> Indonesia's government said it will challenge the US Commerce Department's preliminary antidumping duty of 50.71% on its palm oil-based biodiesel. The US also set duties of 54.36% to 70.05% on Argentine biodiesel, which is typically soy-based. Argentina supplies about two-thirds of US biodiesel imports.

## Why it matters

Preliminary duties this high would sharply reduce Indonesian and Argentine biodiesel shipments to the US, supporting US soybean oil demand. The challenge may not change the outcome quickly.
