Estimated reading time: 2–3 minutes
Introduction
The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) has started new investigations. These investigations are about glyphosate imports from China. Glyphosate is a chemical used to kill weeds. It is important for farming.
What Are the Investigations About?
The investigations will look into whether the import of glyphosate from China is causing harm to U.S. industries. The USITC will see if the imports are sold at prices lower than fair value. This is called “dumping.” The USITC will also check if the Chinese government is unfairly helping glyphosate producers. This is called “subsidizing.”
Who Started These Investigations?
Monsanto Company and its subsidiary Ruveon LLC filed a petition on June 30, 2026. They are based in St. Louis, Missouri. They requested the investigations to protect U.S. industries.
What Are the Next Steps?
The USITC must make a preliminary decision by August 14, 2026. They will send their findings to the Department of Commerce by August 21, 2026.
How Can the Public Participate?
The public can be involved in these investigations. Interested parties must file to participate by a certain date. They need to submit their names and addresses.
There will be a conference on July 21, 2026. People can send requests to attend this conference by July 17, 2026. The public can also send written comments by July 24, 2026.
Important Information
