Decision on Carbazole Violet Pigment 23 Duties

Estimated reading time: 2–4 minutes

The Department of Commerce recently announced a decision regarding carbazole violet pigment 23. This pigment comes from India and China.

On May 1, 2026, the Department began a review of antidumping duties on this pigment. The review aimed to decide if the duties should continue. No domestic company responded to this review. This resulted in the revocation of these duties.

Antidumping duties are taxes on foreign products. They aim to protect domestic businesses from cheap foreign imports. These duties were first put in place in 2004. The main purpose was to prevent unfair pricing from foreign companies.

The pigment involved in this case is known by its specific chemical names and formulas. It is also identified under a special code called the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. This helps customs officials classify products.

With the revocation, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection will stop suspending the liquidation of this pigment. This affects goods entered or withdrawn from warehouses after June 15, 2026. However, products entered before this date will still face the old rules. Reviews can still happen for merchandise entered before the revocation date.

The notice was published on August 7, 2026, by Christopher Abbott. Abbott serves as the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and Negotiations. This decision follows the laws and regulations mentioned in the Federal Register.
