International Trade Commission to Review Twist Ties from China
Estimated reading time: 2–3 minutes
Date: 2026-06-23
The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) has announced that it will conduct full five-year reviews on twist ties from China. These reviews are to assess if removing countervailing and antidumping duties would harm U.S. industries.
The countervailing and antidumping duties are rules put in place to protect U.S. manufacturers. They stop cheap imports from hurting local businesses. The review will determine if removing these duties will hurt U.S. industries in the future.
The Commission decided on this review process on June 5, 2026. A schedule for these reviews will be shared soon.
Kristina Lara of the Office of Investigations is the point of contact for more information. She is based in Washington, DC, and can be reached at 202-205-3386. The hearing-impaired can call 202-205-1810 for assistance. Those needing special help to access the Commission can call 202-205-2000.
The public can also find details on the USITC website: https://www.usitc.gov. The electronic docket can be viewed at https://edis.usitc.gov.
The reviews are conducted under the Tariff Act of 1930 and follow specific rules. The domestic interested party group response was considered adequate by the USITC, while the respondent interested party group response was inadequate.
Commissioners Johanson and Kearns voted for full reviews. Chair Karpel voted for expedited reviews. The decisions are part of the records available from the Office of the Secretary and on the Commission’s website.
Lisa Barton, the Secretary to the Commission, issued this notice on June 17, 2026.
