U.S. Delays Decision on Cheap Chemical Imports from China and Allies
Published Date: 2/21/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce is delaying its first big decision on whether hexamethylenetetramine from China, Germany, India, and Saudi Arabia is being sold unfairly in the U.S. This means more time to review the case, pushing the deadline from March 10 to May 9, 2025. Importers and exporters from these countries should stay tuned because this could affect prices and trade rules soon.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.
Preliminary Decision Delayed to April 29, 2025
The Department of Commerce postponed the preliminary determinations in the antidumping (less-than-fair-value) investigations of hexamethylenetetramine from China, Germany, India, and Saudi Arabia. The original preliminary deadline of March 10, 2025 is extended to no later than April 29, 2025 (190 days after initiation on October 21, 2024).
Final Determination Timing Remains Tied to Preliminary
Commerce stated that the deadline for final determinations will remain 75 days after the preliminary determinations. That means once the preliminary ruling is set (now no later than April 29, 2025), the final determinations will be due 75 days after that date unless Commerce postpones them later.
