The United States International Trade Commission announced the cancellation of a public hearing for the antidumping duty investigations related to Dioctyl Terephthalate (DOTP) from Malaysia, Poland, Taiwan, and Turkey. The hearing was scheduled for March 25, 2025, but the request to cancel was made by Eastman Chemical Company and BASF Corporation. Both companies have withdrawn their requests to appear at the hearing and have agreed to answer any questions from the Commission in writing. The companies involved are expected to respond to written questions in their post-hearing briefs by April 1, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The International Trade Commission decided not to have a meeting to talk about a special chemical from Malaysia, Poland, Taiwan, and Turkey because two big companies, Eastman and BASF, said they didn't need to talk in person anymore and would answer questions in writing instead.
