United States is materially injured by reason of imports of hard empty
capsules from China, India and Vietnam, and that there is a reasonable
indication that an industry in the United States is threatened with
material injury by reason of imports of hard empty capsules from Brazil
provided for in subheadings 9602.00.10 and 9602.00.50 of the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States, that are alleged to be sold in
the United States at less than fair value (``LTFV'') and imports of the
subject merchandise from Brazil, China, India, and Vietnam that are
alleged to be subsidized by the governments of Brazil, China, India,
and Vietnam.\2\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commencement of Final Phase Investigations
Pursuant to section 207.18 of the Commission's rules, the
Commission also gives notice of the commencement of the final phase of
its investigations. The Commission will issue a final phase notice of
scheduling, which will be published in the Federal Register as provided
in Sec. 207.21 of the Commission's rules, upon notice from the U.S.
Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') of affirmative preliminary
determinations in the investigations under Sec. Sec. 703(b) or 733(b)
of the Act, or, if the preliminary determinations are negative, upon
notice of affirmative final determinations in those investigations
under Sec. Sec. 705(a) or 735(a) of the Act. Parties that filed
entries of appearance in the preliminary phase of the investigations
need not enter a separate appearance for the final phase of the
investigations. Any other party may file an entry of appearance for the
final phase of the investigations after publication of the final phase
notice of scheduling. Industrial users, and, if the merchandise under
investigation is sold at the retail level, representative consumer
organizations have the right to appear as parties in Commission
antidumping and countervailing duty investigations. The Secretary will
prepare a public service list containing the names and addresses of all
persons, or their representatives, who are parties to the
investigations. As provided in section 207.20 of the Commission's
rules, the Director of the Office of Investigations will circulate
draft questionnaires for the final phase of the investigations to
parties to the investigations, placing copies on the Commission's
Electronic Document Information System (EDIS, <a href="https://edis.usitc.gov">https://edis.usitc.gov</a>),
for comment.
Background
On October 24, 2024, Lonza Greenwood LLC, Greenwood, South Carolina
filed petitions with the Commission and Commerce, alleging that an
industry in the United States is materially injured or threatened with
material injury by reason of subsidized imports of hard empty capsules
from Brazil, China, India, and Vietnam and LTFV imports of hard empty
capsules from Brazil, China, India, and Vietnam. Accordingly, effective
October 24, 2024, the Commission instituted countervailing duty
investigation Nos. 701-TA-742-745 and antidumping duty investigation
Nos. 731-TA-1720-1723 (Preliminary).
Notice of the institution of the Commission's investigations and of
a public conference to be held in connection therewith was given by
posting copies of the notice in the Office of the Secretary, U.S.
International Trade Commission, Washington, DC, and by publishing the
notice in the Federal Register of October 30, 2024 (89 FR 86370). The
Commission conducted its conference on November 14, 2024. All persons
who requested the opportunity were permitted to participate.
The Commission made these determinations pursuant to Sec. Sec.
703(a) and 733(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(a) and 1673b(a)). It
completed and filed its determinations in these investigations on
December 9, 2024. The views of the Commission are contained in USITC
Publication 5572 (December 2024), entitled Hard Empty Capsules from
Brazil, China, India, and Vietnam: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-742-745
and 731-TA-1720-1723 (Preliminary).
