# China raises tariffs on US animal feed – China Economic Review

> China began levying anti-dumping and anti-subsidy duties on US DDGS, with combined rates raised to 42.2% to 53.7%, up from the 33.8% deposit set in September. The duties follow a probe prompted by complaints from Chinese suppliers in November 2015.
