provided for in subheadings 2929.10.80 and 3909.31.00 of the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States, that have been found by the U.S.
Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') to be sold in the United States

Background
The Commission instituted this investigation effective February 12,
2025, following receipt of a petition filed with the Commission and
Commerce by the MDI Fair Trade Coalition consisting of BASF
Corporation, Florham Park, New Jersey; and The Dow Chemical Company,
Midland, Michigan.
The Commission scheduled the final phase of the investigation
following notification of a preliminary determination by Commerce that
imports of MDI from China were being sold at LTFV within the meaning of
Sec. 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b(b)). Notice of the scheduling
of the final phase of the Commission's investigation and of a public
hearing to be held in connection therewith was given by posting copies
of the notice in the Office of the Secretary, U.S. International Trade
Commission, Washington, DC, and by publishing the notice in the Federal
Register of September 25, 2025 (90 FR 46253).\4\ The Commission
conducted its hearing on April 2, 2026. All persons who requested the
opportunity were permitted to participate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ Due to the lapse in appropriations and ensuing cessation of
Commission operations, the Commission tolled its schedule for this
proceeding. The schedule was revised in subsequent notices published
in the Federal Register on Nov. 26, 2025 (90 FR 54367) and on Dec.
15, 2025 (90 FR 58054).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Commission made this determination pursuant to Sec. 735(b) of
the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)). It
