Preliminary finding on paprika imports
On August 11, 2025, the U.S. International Trade Commission found a reasonable indication that U.S. industry is materially injured by imports of oleoresin paprika from India that are alleged to be sold at less than fair value (LTFV) and subsidized. The product under investigation is provided under HTS subheadings 3203.00.80 and 3301.90.10, and the cases are countervailing duty No. 701-TA-771 and antidumping duty No. 731-TA-1755, instituted effective June 25, 2025.
Rights for industrial users and consumers
Industrial users and, if the merchandise is sold at retail, representative consumer organizations have the right to appear as parties in these antidumping and countervailing duty investigations. Parties that entered appearances in the preliminary phase need not refile for the final phase, and other interested parties may file an entry of appearance after the final-phase scheduling notice is published.
