Summary
The U.S. is delaying its first big decision on whether imports of a chemical called MDI from China are unfairly priced. This delay gives everyone more time to share info and make sure the investigation is super thorough. Companies involved should expect the new decision by mid-September, which could affect prices and trade rules.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.
Preliminary Determination Delayed to Sept 10
If your company is involved with imports of methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) from the People’s Republic of China, the U.S. Department of Commerce postponed its preliminary less-than-fair-value decision from July 22, 2025 to no later than September 10, 2025. The postponement extends the statutory preliminary deadline by 50 days to allow more time to evaluate questionnaire responses and collect supplemental information.
Final Determination Follows 75-Day Rule
Commerce stated that the final determination deadline will remain 75 days after the publication of the preliminary determination, unless Commerce later postpones that deadline. That means, with a preliminary decision due by September 10, 2025, the final determination would be scheduled 75 days after that preliminary publication unless changed.
