Possible Antidumping Duties on MDI Imports
The U.S. has opened an antidumping investigation into methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) from China that are provided for in HTS subheadings 2929.10.80 and 3909.31.00 (and related subheadings). If Commerce and the Commission find these imports are sold at less than fair value and injure U.S. industry, extra duties (antidumping taxes) may be added to those imports.
45-Day Preliminary Decision Deadline
The Commission must complete a preliminary determination in this antidumping investigation within 45 days, by March 31, 2025, and transmit its views to Commerce by April 7, 2025. A fast timeline means affected firms have a short window before a preliminary outcome that could lead to duties.
