Italian Pasta Makers Face US Dumping Scrutiny in Latest Review
Published Date: 10/15/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that some Italian pasta makers sold their products in the U.S. for less than fair value from July 2024 to June 2025. They’re stopping the review for 15 companies who withdrew their requests, but the investigation continues for others. This could affect import duties and prices, with official results starting October 15, 2026.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 4 costs, 0 mixed.
Preliminary Dumping Margins Announced
Commerce preliminarily found weighted-average dumping margins for pasta sold from Italy for the period July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025: La Molisana 3.62%, Pastificio Lucio Garofalo 6.47%, and companies not individually reviewed 5.05%. These preliminary margins are the basis for possible antidumping duties assessed when the final results are issued.
Rescission for 15 Companies; Duties at Deposit Rates
Commerce is rescinding the administrative review for 15 named Italian pasta companies (listed in Appendix III) and will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping duties on their entries at the cash deposit rate required at the time of entry or withdrawal for consumption. Commerce intends to issue rescission instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of this notice (publication date October 15, 2026).
Cash Deposit Rules for Future Shipments
For shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results of this review, cash deposit rates will be: the rate established in the final results for companies covered (but set to zero if under 0.50%); for companies not covered, the previously published company-specific rate; if exporter not covered but manufacturer is, the manufacturer's most recent rate; and for all other manufacturers/exporters the rate will remain 15.45%. These deposit requirements remain in effect until further notice.
Importer Reimbursement Certificate Requirement
Importers must file a certificate about reimbursement of antidumping duties before liquidation of the relevant entries as required by 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2). If an importer fails to file the certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and could assess double antidumping duties and/or increase duties by the amount of any countervailing duties.
