Background

The International Trade Commission has initiated a new Section 332 factfinding investigation that will examine the global nonfat milk solids market and the export competitiveness of the industries in the U.S. and other major suppliers, such as Australia, Canada, select European Union member states, and New Zealand.

The ITC states that its final report in this investigation will provide the following.

- an overview of the global market for products containing high levels of nonfat milk solids in their various forms, including such factors as product end uses, consumption, production, and trade

- profiles of the producing and exporting industries in specified countries, including information about domestic production, consumption, and export trends

- a comparison of the competitive strengths and weaknesses of producers and exporters in the U.S. and other major exporting countries, focusing on factors affecting delivered costs, product differentiation, and reliability of supply, as well as government policies and programs that directly or indirectly affect production and exports from these countries

- an overview of the competitiveness of U.S. products relative to exports from the highlighted countries, both in the U.S. market and in third-country markets

The ITC will hold a public hearing in connection with this investigation on July 28 and requests to appear at this hearing are due by July 14. Written comments for the record are due by Oct. 14. The ITC expects to submit its final report to the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative by March 23, 2026.
