Importers May Face Continued Duties
If you import carbazole violet pigment 23 from China or India, the U.S. International Trade Commission began a review on May 1, 2026 to decide whether countervailing and antidumping duty orders should remain in place. The review could affect import duties and prices for the pigment, and interested importers should submit responses by June 1, 2026 to participate.
U.S. Producers Could Keep Trade Protection
If you are a U.S. producer of carbazole violet pigment 23, the Commission's fourth five-year review (instituted May 1, 2026) will determine whether antidumping and countervailing duty orders on imports from China and India will continue. If the orders are continued, domestic producers would remain protected from imports the Commission finds to cause material injury.
Industrial Buyers May See Price Effects
If you use carbazole violet pigment 23 in manufacturing or purchasing, the review starting May 1, 2026 could change import duties and therefore affect prices. Industrial users and, where retail sales apply, consumer organizations are identified as participants who may submit information by June 1, 2026.
Data Submission Requirement and Burden
Parties wishing to participate must file detailed information on 2025 production, imports, shipments, and finances by 5:15 p.m. on June 1, 2026, with comments on adequacy due by 5:15 p.m. on July 13, 2026.
