Frequently asked questions

What is ITC investigation 731-TA-700?

Investigation 731-TA-700 is a U.S. International Trade Commission antidumping (AD) proceeding on Disposable Lighters from China and Thailand, Invs. 731-TA-700-701 (Final). The ITC determines whether U.S. industry is materially injured (or threatened) by imports under investigation; Commerce determines whether dumping or subsidization is occurring. Both findings are required for an AD/CVD order to be issued.

What phase is this investigation in?

731-TA-700 is in the final phase, with status completed. Final phase — the ITC's final determination on injury, after Commerce issues its final dumping/subsidy determination. An affirmative final determination from both agencies triggers issuance of an AD/CVD order.

Has an AD/CVD order been issued from this investigation?

Not yet. 731-TA-700 has not produced an AD/CVD order in Tandom's catalog. If both Commerce and the ITC issue affirmative final determinations, an order would issue and link to this investigation. Until then, no cash deposits apply.

How do I follow updates on this investigation?

The USITC publishes investigation determinations and milestones on its Investigations Data Service (IDS) at ids.usitc.gov. Tandom's catalog re-syncs from IDS daily; new phases, votes, and determinations appear here within 24 hours of USITC publication.
