Notice of Receipt of Complaint; Solicitation of Comments Relating to the Public Interest
Published Date: 1/17/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. International Trade Commission got a complaint about some special plastic resins imported from China that might be breaking trade rules. They want your thoughts on how this could affect the public before deciding on actions like blocking imports or stopping sales. This could impact companies involved and might lead to changes in what products can be sold in the U.S., with decisions happening soon during a 60-day review period.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Possible import ban during 60‑day review
The U.S. International Trade Commission received a complaint filed January 13, 2025 about certain polyvinylidene fluoride resins. The complainant asked the Commission to issue a limited exclusion order, cease and desist orders, and to impose a bond on the allegedly infringing articles during the 60-day Presidential review period under 19 U.S.C. 1337(j). If the Commission grants those remedies, imports and U.S. sales of the named resins could be blocked during that review.
Potential demand shift to U.S. resin makers
The Commission asks commenters to identify like or directly competitive articles made in the United States and whether complainant or other U.S. suppliers have the capacity to replace the volume of articles subject to any exclusion or cease and desist order within a commercially reasonable time. If imports were excluded, U.S. producers identified in those comments could be called on to replace the blocked imports.
