USITC Makes Determinations in Five-Year (Sunset) Reviews Concerning Preserved Mushrooms from Chile, China, India, And Indonesia
The U.S. International Trade Commission (Commission or USITC) today determined that revoking the existing antidumping orders on imports of preserved mushrooms from Chile, China, India, and Indonesia would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time.
As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, the existing orders on imports of this product from Chile, China, India, and Indonesia will remain in place.
Chairman David S. Johanson and Commissioner Jason E. Kearns voted in the affirmative. Commissioner Amy A. Karpel did not participate in the vote.
Today’s action comes under the five-year (sunset) review process required by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act. See the attached page for background on these five-year (sunset) reviews.
The Commission’s public report, Preserved Mushrooms from Chile, China, India, and Indonesia (Inv. No. 731-TA-776-779 (Fifth Review), USITC Publication 5765, July 2026), will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the reviews.
The report will be available on the USITC website by August 13, 2026.
BACKGROUND
The Uruguay Round Agreements Act requires the Department of Commerce to revoke an antidumping or countervailing duty order, or terminate a suspension agreement, after five years unless the Department of Commerce and the USITC determine that revoking the order or terminating the suspension agreement would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping or subsidies (Commerce) and of material injury (USITC) within a reasonably foreseeable time.
The Commission’s institution notice in five-year reviews requests that interested parties file responses with the Commission concerning the likely effects of revoking the order under review as well as other information. Generally, within 95 days from institution, the Commission will determine whether the responses it has received reflect an adequate or inadequate level of interest in a full review. If responses to the USITC’s notice of institution are adequate, or if other circumstances warrant a full review, the Commission conducts a full review, which includes a public hearing and issuance of questionnaires.
The Commission generally does not hold a hearing or conduct further investigative activities in expedited reviews. Commissioners base their injury determination in expedited reviews on the facts available, including the Commission’s prior injury and review determinations, responses received to its notice of institution, data collected by staff in connection with the reviews, and information provided by the Department of Commerce.
The five-year (sunset) reviews concerning Preserved Mushrooms from Chile, China, India, and Indonesia were instituted on February 2, 2026.
On May 8, 2026, the Commission determined to conduct expedited five-year reviews. Chairman David S. Johanson and Commissioners Jason E. Kearns and Amy A. Karpel concluded that the domestic interested party group responses were adequate and the respondent interested party group responses were inadequate. Chairman Johanson voted for full reviews; Commissioners Kearns and Karpel voted for expedited reviews.
A record of the Commission’s vote to conduct an expedited review is available on the investigations page for Preserved Mushrooms from Chile, China, India, and Indonesia; Inv. No. 731-TA-776-779 (Fifth Review).

Changed circumstances reviews are made by the U.S. Department of Commerce and/or the USITC with respect to final affirmative determinations that resulted in a countervailing duty order or antidumping duty order. They also apply to suspension agreements that resulted from a countervailing duty or antidumping duty investigation. Commerce and the USITC conduct such reviews under section 751(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. § 1675(b)) based on information or at the request of an interested party. The USITC's regulation regarding changed circumstances reviews can be found at 19 C.F.R. § 207.45.
In changed circumstances reviews involving a countervailing duty or antidumping duty order, the USITC shall determine whether revocation of the order or finding is likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury. In reviews involving a suspension agreement, the USITC must determine whether the suspension agreement continues to eliminate completely the injurious effects of imports of the subject merchandise.
