Summary
The U.S. International Trade Commission is updating the timeline for its investigation into hard empty capsules from Brazil, China, India, and Vietnam. Deadlines for filing comments and final decisions have been pushed back to late December 2025 and early January 2026 due to government delays. This affects importers, manufacturers, and anyone involved in the capsule trade, giving them a bit more time to weigh in before final rulings and possible trade actions.

Investigation Deadlines Extended for Capsules
If you are an importer, manufacturer, or otherwise involved in the hard empty capsule trade from Brazil, China, India, or Vietnam, the U.S. International Trade Commission moved key deadlines. Supplemental briefs are due December 30, 2025; the Commission will release its final information on January 9, 2026; and final party comments are due January 13, 2026. This gives affected businesses additional time to file comments before final rulings or trade actions.
