Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Review on Certain Pasta from Italy

Estimated reading time: 2–4 minutes

The U.S. Department of Commerce has announced the preliminary findings from its review of antidumping duties on certain pasta imported from Italy. The review covers the period from July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025. During this time, it was found that some producers and exporters from Italy sold pasta in the United States for less than the normal value, which is known as dumping.

The review started on August 22, 2025, after timely requests according to U.S. regulations. The companies selected as key respondents for this review are La Molisana and Pastificio Lucio Garofalo. These companies were chosen because they are major exporters.

Several companies had initially requested to be part of the review but later withdrew their requests. This includes companies like La Doria, Di Martino, Frescobaldi, and Barilla. As these companies withdrew their requests within the specified time, the review was rescinded with respect to 15 companies.

The Department of Commerce has used specific methods to calculate the dumping margins. For La Molisana, the margin is 3.62%. For Garofalo, it is 6.47%. Other companies not individually reviewed are given an average rate of 5.05%. These rates are calculated to ensure fair pricing and to protect U.S. manufacturers.

Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results. They can also provide feedback through public comments and request a hearing if necessary. The final results will be used to assess duties on future imports and to adjust deposit requirements for customs.

Overall, these actions help maintain fair competition and protect U.S. industries from unfair trade practices. This review is part of regular checks by the Department of Commerce to ensure compliance with international trade laws.
