The U.S. International Trade Commission (Commission or USITC) is undertaking a new factfinding investigation that will examine the global nonfat milk solids market and the export competitiveness of the nonfat milk solids industries in the United States and other major suppliers, such as Australia, Canada, select EU member states, and New Zealand.
This investigation, Nonfat Milk Solids: Competitive Conditions for the United States and Major Foreign Suppliers (Investigation No. 332-607), was requested by the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) in a letter received on April 23, 2025.
As requested, the USITC, an independent, nonpartisan federal agency, will prepare a public report that will provide, to the extent practicable:
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 industries producing and exporting products containing high levels of nonfat milk solids in the United States, Australia, Canada, select EU member states, New Zealand, and other countries as may be relevant, including information about domestic production, consumption, and export trends in these countries.
A comparison of the competitive strengths and weaknesses of producers and exporters of nonfat milk solids products from the United States 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 the production and exports of nonfat milk solids products from these countries.
An overview of the competitiveness of U.S. nonfat milk solids products relative to exports from the highlighted countries both in the U.S. market and in third-country markets.
The report will focus on the 2020-2024 period. The USITC expects to submit its report to USTR by March 23, 2026.
The USITC will hold a public hearing in connection with the investigation at 9:30 a.m. on July 28, 2025. A link to the hearing will be posted on the Commission’s website. Submit requests to appear at the hearing no later than 5:15 p.m. on July 14, 2025, with the Secretary, U.S. International Trade Commission, 500 E Street, SW, Washington, DC 20436.
