Government Reschedules Meeting About Unpronounceable Chinese Chemical
Published Date: 12/15/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. International Trade Commission is updating the timeline for reviewing Methylene Diphenyl Diisocyanate (MDI) imports from China because of a government shutdown delay. Companies involved in this trade should note new deadlines for reports, hearings, and final decisions, now stretching into late April 2026. This means more time to prepare, but also a longer wait before any money-related decisions are made.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Delay in money-related decisions
The Commission says the revised schedule means a longer wait before any money-related decisions are made in this proceeding; the Commission's final release of information is scheduled for April 27, 2026, with final party comments due April 29, 2026. That extends the period companies must wait for outcomes that could affect duties, pricing, or other financial consequences.
More time to prepare filings
If your company is involved in Methylene Diphenyl Diisocyanate (MDI) imports from China, the U.S. International Trade Commission moved key deadlines into March and April 2026. Important dates include the prehearing staff report on March 19, 2026; prehearing briefs due March 26, 2026; requests to appear due March 27, 2026; and the hearing on April 2, 2026.
