Commencement of Final Phase Investigation
Pursuant to section 207.18 of the Commission's rules, the
Commission also gives notice of the commencement of the final phase of
its investigation. The Commission will issue a final phase notice of
scheduling, which will be published in the Federal Register as provided
in section 207.21 of the Commission's rules, upon notice from the U.S.
Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') of an affirmative preliminary
determination in the investigation under Sec. 733(b) of the Act, or,

affirmative final determination in that investigation under Sec.

preliminary phase of the investigation need not enter a separate
appearance for the final phase of the investigation. Any other party
may file an entry of appearance for the final phase of the
investigation after publication of the final phase notice of
scheduling. Industrial users, and, if the merchandise under
investigation is sold at the retail level, representative consumer
organizations have the right to appear as parties in Commission
antidumping investigation. The Secretary will prepare a public service
list containing the names and addresses of all persons, or their
representatives, who are parties to the investigation. As provided in
section 207.20 of the Commission's rules, the Director of the Office of
Investigations will circulate draft questionnaires for the final phase
of the investigation to parties to the investigation, placing copies on
the Commission's Electronic Document Information System (EDIS, <a href="https://edis.usitc.gov">https://edis.usitc.gov</a>), for comment.
Background
On February 12, 2025, the MDI Fair Trade Coalition, consisting of
BASF Corporation, Florham Park, New Jersey and The Dow Chemical
Company, Midland, Michigan, filed a petition with the Commission and
Commerce, alleging that an industry in the United States is materially
injured or threatened with material injury by reason of LTFV imports of
MDI products from China. Accordingly, effective February 12, 2025, the
Commission instituted antidumping duty investigation No. 731-TA-1733
(Preliminary).
Notice of the institution of the Commission's investigation and of
a public conference to be held in connection therewith was given by
posting copies of the notice in the Office of the Secretary, U.S.

notice in the Federal Register of February 19, 2025 (90 FR 9913). The
Commission conducted its conference on March 5, 2025. All persons who
requested the opportunity were permitted to participate.
The Commission made this determination pursuant to Sec. 733(a) of
the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b(a)). It completed and filed its determination
in this investigation on March 31, 2025. The views of the Commission
are contained in USITC Publication 5606 (April 2025), entitled
Methylene Diphenyl Diisocyanate (MDI Products) from China:
Investigation No. 731-TA-1733 (Preliminary).
By order of the Commission.
