Eighteen members of Congress are urging Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo “to carefully review the facts” before deciding whether to impose preliminary duties on 2,4-D imports from China and India, News outlets are reporting. The letter was led by Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Reps. Adrian Smith, R-Neb., and Jimmy Panetta, D-Calif.

 

The International Trade Commission agreed in May to move ahead on a petition by Corteva Agriscience to place anti-dumping and countervailing duties on the imports. The Commerce Department is slated to release preliminary duties by Sept. 10, but that deadline could be extended.
