The U.S. International Trade Commission (Commission or USITC) today determined there is a reasonable indication that a U.S. industry is materially injured due to imports of fatty acids from Indonesia and Malaysia that are allegedly sold in the United States at less than fair value and subsidized by the governments of Indonesia and Malaysia.

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

As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, the U.S. Department of Commerce will continue its investigations of imports of fatty acids from Indonesia and Malaysia.

The Commission’s public report, Fatty Acids from Indonesia and Malaysia (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-785-786 and 731-TA-1773-1774 (Preliminary), USITC Publication 5723, (April 2026), will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigations.

The report will be available by May 8, 2026; when available, it may be accessed on the USITC website.
