Four Chinese Producers, One Exclusion Order
A judge found a Section 337 violation on PVDF resin and recommended shutting four Chinese producers out at the border. Plus Chemours petitions against Indian PFA, a twenty-one-year-old pigment order dies because nobody filed a form, choline salts clears its injury test, and Kaub printed a five.
On Saturday this desk reported that the Federal Register had carried no chemical trade action all week.
It carried three, and one of them recommends closing the US border to four Chinese producers of a battery binder.
The mistake was a category error. We counted notices from the International Trade Administration, which publishes most of the antidumping calendar and published nine of them from Thursday on, none of them chemical.
The Commission publishes on its own docket, and that is where the week's chemistry was.
So this radar is the docket we walked past, plus the river.
Five items, and five dated decisions between now and the end of September (chart below).
The rest of this brief is for subscribers.
The capacity math, the trade-flow read, and what it means for the products you buy.
