Description

The U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission have determined that revocation of the antidumping duty (AD) order and countervailing duty (CVD) order on commodity matchbooks from India would likely lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping, countervailable subsidies, and material injury to a U.S. industry. As a result, Commerce is publishing a notice of continuation of these AD and CVD orders effective June 15, 2026. The scope of the orders covers commodity matchbooks typically consisting of twenty match stems fastened into a matchbook cover, excluding promotional matchbooks and other types of matches not fastened into a matchbook cover. The orders will continue to be enforced with cash deposits collected at rates in effect at the time of entry for all imports of subject merchandise.
