The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) today determined that there is a reasonable indication that a U.S. industry is materially injured by reason of imports of hard empty capsules from China, India, and Vietnam that are allegedly sold in the United States at less than fair value and subsidized by the governments of China, India, and Vietnam. The USITC also determined that there is a reasonable indication that a U.S. industry is threatened with material injury by reason of imports of hard empty capsules from Brazil that are allegedly sold in the United States at less than fair value and subsidized by the government of Brazil.
Chair Amy A. Karpel and Commissioners David S. Johanson, Rhonda K. Schmidtlein, and Jason E. Kearns voted in the affirmative.
As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, the U.S. Department of Commerce will continue its investigations of imports of hard empty capsules from Brazil, China, India, and Vietnam, with its preliminary antidumping duty determinations for Brazil, China, India, and Vietnam on or about April 2, 2025, and its preliminary countervailing duty determinations for Brazil, China, India, and Vietnam on January 17, 2025.
The Commission’s public report Hard Empty Capsules from Brazil, China, India, and Vietnam, (Inv. Nos. 701-TA- 742-745 and 731-TA- 1720-1723 (Preliminary), USITC Publication 5572, December 2024) will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigations.
