Purple Pigment Tariffs Die: Nobody Cared Enough to Save Them

## Summary

The U.S. Department of Commerce has officially ended the countervailing duty on carbazole violet pigment 23 imported from India because no one in the U.S. spoke up to keep it. Starting August 7, 2026, imports of this pigment from India won’t have extra taxes, which could shake up prices and trade. This change mainly affects Indian pigment exporters and U.S. buyers who use this colorful chemical.

## Abstract

On May 1, 2026, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) initiated the fourth sunset review of the countervailing duty (CVD) order on carbazole violet pigment 23 (CVP-23) from India. Because no domestic party responded to the sunset review notice of initiation by the applicable deadline, consistent with section 751(c)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), Commerce is revoking the CVD order on carbazole violet pigment 23 from India.

That means such entries will no longer be held under suspension or subject to CVD deposit requirements going…
- Pre-Revocation Entries Still Subject to Duties: cost, medium. Entries of CVP-23 from India that were made prior to the effective date of revocation (August 7, 2026) will remain subject to suspension of liquidation and countervailing duty deposit requirements. Commerce may conduct administrative reviews for those earlier entries if appropriate review requests…
