Government Shutdown Delays Matchbook Probe from India – Light the Fuse?
Published Date: 12/3/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. International Trade Commission is updating the schedule for reviewing matchbooks imported from India because of a government shutdown delay. Companies, users, and consumer groups now have new deadlines to respond and join the case, with key dates pushed into December 2025 and January 2026. This means more time to get involved before any trade decisions or tariffs might affect prices or availability.

Extended Deadlines for Business Participants
If you are a company or industrial user wanting to take part in the U.S. International Trade Commission review of matchbooks from India, responses to the notice are due December 17, 2025 and comments on adequacy and review type are due January 27, 2026. The deadline to file an entry of appearance to participate as a party was tolled by 47 days.
Extra Time for Consumer Groups to Join
If the matchbooks are sold at the retail level, representative consumer organizations wishing to participate in the Commission proceeding have more time to join: responses are due December 17, 2025, comments are due January 27, 2026, and the filing deadline to enter an appearance was tolled by 47 days. This gives consumer groups extra time to decide whether to become parties in the review.
