Antidumping/Countervailing Probe Launched
The U.S. has started antidumping and countervailing duty investigations into multifunctional acrylate and methacrylate monomers, and acrylated bisphenol-A epoxy based oligomers (MAMMOs) from South Korea and Taiwan (HTS subheadings 2916.12.50, 2916.14.20, 3824.99.29, 3907.29.00, 3907.30.00).

Fast Preliminary Decision Timeline
The Commission must make a preliminary determination in these antidumping and countervailing duty investigations by May 12, 2025, and must send its views to the Department of Commerce by May 19, 2025. That fast timeline could mean duties or provisional measures may be decided on quickly.
