Description

The U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission have determined that revocation of the antidumping duty orders on monosodium glutamate (MSG) from the Republic of Indonesia and the People's Republic of China would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping and material injury to a U.S. industry. As a result, Commerce is publishing a notice of continuation of these antidumping duty orders. The product covered includes MSG in various forms and blends containing 15 percent or more MSG by dry weight. The continuation of the orders is effective May 5, 2026, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection will continue to collect antidumping cash deposits at current rates.
