ITC Finds 2,4‑D Imports Harm U.S. Industry
On May 16, 2025 the U.S. International Trade Commission determined that imports of the weed killer 2,4‑D from China and India (HTSUS subheading 2918.99.20) materially injured a U.S. industry because the U.S. Department of Commerce found those imports were subsidized and sold in the United States at less than fair value under the Tariff Act of 1930. The investigations were instituted March 14, 2024 and the Commission held a public hearing on April 1, 2025.
