Monosodium Glutamate From China and Indonesia; Scheduling of Expedited Five-Year Reviews

Brief takeaway: The ITC is running expedited five-year (sunset) reviews to decide whether the existing antidumping duty orders on monosodium glutamate from China and Indonesia should stay in place, so these duties are not being removed by this notice.

What changed: According to the notice, the Commission has scheduled expedited reviews under the Tariff Act of 1930 to determine whether revoking the antidumping duty orders on monosodium glutamate from China and Indonesia would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury. The notice states this is a procedural scheduling step; it does not itself change or end the orders.

Who's affected: The notice names monosodium glutamate (MSG) as the product and cites China and Indonesia as the countries of origin subject to the antidumping duty orders under review. Specific HTS codes are not stated in this notice.

What to review:
- Review whether your imported product is monosodium glutamate sourced from China or Indonesia.
- Confirm with your customs broker whether existing antidumping duty orders currently apply to your shipments.
- Check the country of origin and supplier documentation for goods that may fall within these orders.
- Confirm any duty deposit or reporting obligations that remain in effect while the reviews are pending.
