Hard Empty Capsules from Brazil, China, India, And Vietnam Injure U.S. Industry, Says USITC

The U.S. International Trade Commission (Commission or USITC) today determined that a U.S. industry is materially injured by reason of imports of hard empty capsules from China, India, and Vietnam, and that an industry in the United States is threatened with material injury by reason of imports of hard empty capsules from Brazil, that the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) has determined are sold in the United States at less than fair value and subsidized by the governments of Brazil, China, India, and Vietnam.

Chair Amy A. Karpel and Commissioners Jason E. Kearns and David S. Johanson voted in the affirmative.

As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, Commerce will issue antidumping and countervailing duty orders on imports of this product from Brazil, China, India, and Vietnam.

The Commission’s public report, Hard Empty Capsules from Brazil, China, India, and Vietnam (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-742-745 and 731-TA-1720-1723 (Final), USITC Publication 5696, February 2026), will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigations.

The report will be available by March 2, 2026; when available, it may be accessed on the USITC website.

Status of proceedings, links to relevant documents, and more information about the investigations can be found at the Commission’s Investigations Database System (IDS).
