USITC: Expedited Five-Year Review of Antidumping Duty Order on Tetrahydrofurfuryl Alcohol from China
Summary
The U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) has scheduled an expedited five-year review to determine if revoking the antidumping duty order on tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol from China would likely lead to material injury. This notice follows the Commission's determination that a full review is not warranted.
What changed
The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) has issued a notice scheduling an expedited five-year review concerning the antidumping duty order on tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol from China. This review, initiated under section 751(c)(3) of the Tariff Act of 1930, will determine if revoking the order is likely to lead to the continuation or recurrence of material injury. The Commission previously determined that a domestic interested party group response was adequate, but the respondent group's response was inadequate, thus warranting an expedited review rather than a full one.
Regulated entities involved in the import or export of tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol from China should be aware of this review. While the notice itself does not impose new immediate obligations, interested parties may have opportunities to submit written comments by a date to be specified in further communications, following the release of staff reports on March 27, 2026. Failure to participate or adequately respond in future stages could impact the outcome of the review and the continued applicability of the antidumping duties.
What to do next
- Monitor USITC dockets for further information regarding written submission deadlines.
- Review the staff report when it becomes available on March 27, 2026, and thereafter in its public version.
- Consult relevant sections of 19 CFR parts 201 and 207 for procedural rules.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background. —On February 23, 2026, the Commission determined that the domestic interested party group response to its notice of institution (90 FR 47328, October 1, 2025) of the subject five-year review was adequate and that the respondent interested party group response was inadequate. The Commission did not find any other ( printed page 13335) circumstances that would warrant conducting a full review. [1 ] Accordingly, the Commission determined that it would conduct an expedited review pursuant to section 751(c)(3) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(3)). [2 ]
For further information concerning the conduct of this review and rules of general application, consult the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, part 201, subparts A and B (19 CFR part 201), and part 207, subparts A, D, E, and F (19 CFR part 207).
Staff report. —A staff report containing information concerning the subject matter of the review has been placed in the nonpublic record, and will be made available to persons on the Administrative Protective Order service list for this review on March 27, 2026. A public version will be issued thereafter, pursuant to § 207.62(d)(4) of the Commission's rules.
Written submissions. —As provided in § 207.62(d) of the Commission's rules, interested parties that are parties to the review and that have provided individually adequate responses to the notice of institution, [3 ] and any party other than an interested party to the review may file written comments with the Secretary on what determination the Commission should reach in the review. Comments are due on or before 5:15 p.m. on April 2, 2026 and may not contain new factual information. Any person that is neither a party to the five-year review nor an interested party may submit a brief written statement (which shall not contain any new factual information) pertinent to the review by April 2, 2026. However, should the Department of Commerce (“Commerce”) extend the time limit for its completion of the final results of its review, the deadline for comments (which may not contain new factual information) on Commerce's final results is three business days after the issuance of Commerce's results. If comments contain business proprietary information (BPI), they must conform with the requirements of §§ 201.6, 207.3, and 207.7 of the Commission's rules. The Commission's Handbook on Filing Procedures, available on the Commission's website at https://www.usitc.gov/documents/handbookonfiling_procedures.pdf, elaborates upon the Commission's procedures with respect to filings.
In accordance with §§ 201.16(c) and 207.3 of the rules, each document filed by a party to the review must be served on all other parties to the review (as identified by either the public or BPI service list), and a certificate of service must be timely filed. The Secretary will not accept a document for filing without a certificate of service.
Determination. —The Commission has determined this review is extraordinarily complicated and therefore has determined to exercise its authority to extend the review period by up to 90 days pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)(B).
Authority: This review is being conducted under authority of title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930; this notice is published pursuant to § 207.62 of the Commission's rules.
By order of the Commission.
Issued: March 17, 2026.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
