INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-793 and 731-TA-1789 (Preliminary)]


Tris (Hydroxymethyl) Aminomethane and Tris (Hydroxymethyl) 
Aminomethane Hydrochloride (``Tris and Tris HCl'') From China; 
Determinations

    On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject 
investigations, the United States International Trade Commission 
(``Commission'') determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the 
Act''), that there is a reasonable indication that an industry in the 
United States is materially injured by reason of imports of Tris and 
Tris HCl from China, provided for in subheading 2922.19.96 of the 
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, that are alleged to be 
sold in the United States at less than fair value (``LTFV'') and 
imports of the subject merchandise from China that are alleged to be 
subsidized by the government of China.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The record is defined in Sec.  207.2(f) of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).
    \2\ 91 FR 28559 and 91 FR 28566 (May 18, 2026).

Commencement of Final Phase Investigations

    Pursuant to section 207.18 of the Commission's rules, the 
Commission also gives notice of the commencement of the final phase of 
its investigations. The Commission will issue a final phase notice of 
scheduling, which will be published in the Federal Register as provided 
in Sec.  207.21 of the Commission's rules, upon notice from the U.S. 
Department of Commerce

[[Page 35266]]

(``Commerce'') of affirmative preliminary determinations in the 
investigations under Sec. Sec.  703(b) or 733(b) of the Act, or, if the 
preliminary determinations are negative, upon notice of affirmative 
final determinations in those investigations under Sec. Sec.  705(a) or 
735(a) of the Act. Parties that filed entries of appearance in the 
preliminary phase of the investigations need not enter a separate 
appearance for the final phase of the investigations. Any other party 
may file an entry of appearance for the final phase of the 
investigations 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 and countervailing duty investigations. The Secretary will 
prepare a public service list containing the names and addresses of all 
persons, or their representatives, who are parties to the 
investigations. 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 investigations to 
parties to the investigations, 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 April 21, 2026, Advancion Corporation (``Advancion''), Buffalo 
Grove, Illinois, filed petitions with the Commission and Commerce, 
alleging that an industry in the United States is materially injured or 
threatened with material injury by reason of subsidized imports of Tris 
and Tris HCl from China and LTFV imports of Tris and Tris HCl from 
China. Accordingly, effective April 21, 2026, the Commission instituted 
countervailing duty investigation No. 701-TA-793 and antidumping duty 
investigation No. 731-TA-1789 (Preliminary).
    Notice of the institution of the Commission's investigations 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. 
International Trade Commission, Washington, DC, and by publishing the 
notice in the Federal Register of April 24, 2026 (91 FR 22166). The 
Commission conducted its conference on May 12, 2026. All persons who 
requested the opportunity were permitted to participate.
    The Commission made these determinations pursuant to Sec. Sec.  
703(a) and 733(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(a) and 1673b(a)). It 
completed and filed its determinations in these investigations on June 
5, 2026. The views of the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 
5751 (June 2026), entitled Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane and 
Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane Hydrochloride (``Tris and Tris HCl'') 
from China: Investigation Nos. 701 TA-793 and 731-TA-1789 
(Preliminary).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: June 5, 2026.
Lisa Barton,
