Import Duties Stay on Indian Matchbooks
The United States International Trade Commission decided that antidumping and countervailing duties on commodity matchbooks from India will remain in place. The Commission completed and filed this determination on June 11, 2026 after a five-year review that was instituted on October 1, 2025 and an expedited review decision on March 16, 2026.
U.S. Matchbook Industry Protected
The Commission found that removing the antidumping and countervailing duty orders would likely cause material injury to a U.S. industry, so the orders will remain to protect that industry. The Commission filed its views in USITC Publication 5750 and completed the determinations on June 11, 2026.
