The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) today determined that there is a reasonable indication that a U.S. industry is materially injured by reason of imports of raw honey from Argentina, Brazil, India, Ukraine, and Vietnam that are allegedly sold in the United States at less than fair value.
Chair Jason E. Kearns, Vice Chair Randolph J. Stayin, and Commissioners David S. Johanson, Rhonda K. Schmidtlein, and Amy A. Karpel voted in the affirmative.
As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, the U.S. Department of Commerce will continue its investigations of imports of raw honey from Argentina, Brazil, India, Ukraine, and Vietnam, with its preliminary antidumping duty determinations due on or about September 28, 2021.
The Commission’s public report Raw Honey from Argentina, Brazil, India, Ukraine, and Vietnam (Inv. Nos. 731-TA-1560-1564 (Preliminary), USITC Publication 5204, June 2021) will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigations.
The report will be available after July 6, 2021; when available, it may be accessed on the USITC website at: https://www.usitc.gov/commission_publications_library.

Raw Honey from Argentina, Brazil, India, Ukraine, and Vietnam
Investigation Nos. 731-TA-1560-1564 (Preliminary)
Product Description: Honey is a sweet, viscous fluid produced from the nectar of plants and flowers which is collected by honeybees, transformed and combined with substances of their own, and stored and left in honeycombs to mature and ripen. Raw honey is honey as it exists in the beehive or as obtained by extraction, settling and skimming, or straining. Raw honey has not been filtered to a level that results in the removal of most or all of the pollen. Raw honey includes all grades, floral sources, and colors, and also includes organic raw honey.
