Estimated reading time: 2–3 minutes

The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) has announced the start of a review concerning carbazole violet pigment 23. This pigment comes from China and India, and the review will determine if removing certain trade orders will harm domestic industries.

Background of the Review

The Department of Commerce first introduced these trade orders in 2004. They include a countervailing duty order for India and antidumping duty orders for both China and India. The purpose was to prevent unfair pricing and subsidies that could hurt U.S. businesses. Reviews have been conducted every five years since then, with the last review happening in 2021.

Participation and Deadlines

The review began on May 1, 2026. Interested parties, like U.S. producers, importers, or foreign businesses, must respond by June 1, 2026. They should provide information about how these orders affect them and if they think the orders should remain. Comments on these responses are due by July 13, 2026.
