    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 Both companies have withdrawn their requests to appear at the hearing and have agreed to answer any questions from the Commission in writing.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.

  • 2025-05317 — Dioctyl Terephthalate From Taiwan: Final Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value
    Type:Notice
    Citation:90 FR 14069
    Reading Time:about 9 minutes

    The U.S. Department of Commerce has determined that dioctyl terephthalate (DOTP) from Taiwan is being sold in the U.S. at less than fair value, a practice known as dumping, for the period from January 1, 2023, through December 31, 2023. The department issued its final determination on March 20, 2025, continuing to apply penalties to two companies that did not comply with the investigation. They also set a weighted-average dumping margin for other companies based on a margin specific to Nan Ya Plastics Corp. Commerce will continue holding DOTP imports from Taiwan and requiring cash deposits until a final decision is made by the U.S. International Trade Commission.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. Department of Commerce found that a special type of plastic from Taiwan called dioctyl terephthalate (DOTP) was being sold in America for less money than it costs to make it. This is like when someone sells a toy for less than what they paid, and it's not fair to the people who make toys in America. So, until they decide what to do, they will charge extra money for this plastic from Taiwan when it comes into the U.S.
