I-United States ibeke intela enkulu ku-MDI yaseShayina, kanti amazinga entela yokuqala yenkampani enkulu embonini yaseShayina abekwe phezulu njengo-376%-511%. Lokhu kulindeleke ukuthi kuthinte ukumuncwa kwemakethe yokuthumela kwamanye amazwe futhi kungaqinisa ngokungaqondile ingcindezi ekuthengisweni kwasekhaya.

I-US imemezele imiphumela yokuqala yophenyo lwayo lokulwa nokulahla izimpahla ezidayiswayo nge-MDI evela eShayina, kanti amazinga entela aphezulu kakhulu ashaqisa yonke imboni yamakhemikhali.

UMnyango Wezohwebo wase-US uthole ukuthi abakhiqizi be-MDI baseShayina kanye nabathumeli bangaphandle bathengise imikhiqizo yabo e-US ngesilinganiso sokulahla esisukela ku-376.12% kuya ku-511.75%. Inkampani ehamba phambili yaseShayina ithole isilinganiso esithile sentela yokuqala esingu-376.12%, kanti abanye abakhiqizi abaningana baseShayina abangazange bahlanganyele ophenyweni babhekene nesilinganiso esifanayo sikazwelonke esingu-511.75%.

Lesi sinyathelo sisho ukuthi, kusalindwe isinqumo sokugcina, izinkampani zaseShayina ezifanele kumele zikhokhe imali ediphozithi ku-US Customs—okuphindwe kaningana kunenani lemikhiqizo yazo—lapho zithumela i-MDI e-United States. Lokhu kudala isithiyo sokuhweba esingenakunqotshwa esikhathini esifushane, okuphazamisa kakhulu ukuhamba okuvamile kokuhweba kwe-MDI yaseShayina e-US.

Uphenyo lwaqalwa yi-“Coalition for Fair MDI Trade,” eyakhiwa yi-Dow Chemical kanye ne-BASF e-US. Ukugxila kwayo okuyinhloko ukuvikela ukuhweba emikhiqizweni ye-MDI yaseShayina ethengiswa ngamanani aphansi emakethe yaseMelika, okubonisa ukucwasa okucacile kanye nokuqondiswa. I-MDI iwumkhiqizo obalulekile wokuthumela ngaphandle kwenkampani ehamba phambili yaseShayina, lapho ukuthunyelwa kwamanye amazwe e-US kubalelwa cishe ku-26% wesamba sayo sokuthumela ngaphandle se-MDI. Lesi silinganiso sokuvikela ukuhweba sithinta kakhulu inkampani kanye nabanye abakhiqizi be-MDI baseShayina.

Njengezinto ezisetshenziswayo eziyinhloko zezimboni ezifana nokugqoka kanye namakhemikhali, izinguquko ekushintsheni kokuhweba kwe-MDI zithinta ngqo lonke uchungechunge lwezimboni zasekhaya. Ukuthunyelwa kwe-MDI emsulwa e-China e-US kwehle kakhulu eminyakeni emithathu edlule, kwehle kusuka kumathani angu-4,700 ($21 million) ngo-2022 kuya kumathani angu-1,700 ($5 million) ngo-2024, kwacishe kwaqeda ukuncintisana kwayo emakethe. Nakuba ukuthunyelwa kwe-MDI nge-polymeric kuye kwagcina inani elithile (amathani angu-225,600 ngo-2022, amathani angu-230,200 ngo-2023, kanye namathani angu-268,000 ngo-2024), amanani okuthengiselana ashintshe kakhulu ($473 million, $319 million, kanye nama-$392 million ngokulandelana), okubonisa ingcindezi yentengo ecacile kanye nokuncipha okuqhubekayo kwenzuzo yamabhizinisi.

Engxenyeni yokuqala ka-2025, ingcindezi ehlangene evela ophenyweni lokulwa nokulahla izimpahla kanye nezinqubomgomo zentela isivele ibonise imiphumela. Idatha yokuthumela kwamanye amazwe evela ezinyangeni eziyisikhombisa zokuqala iveza ukuthi iRussia isibe yindawo ehamba phambili yokuthumela ngaphandle kwe-polymeric MDI yaseShayina ngamathani angu-50,300, kuyilapho imakethe yase-US eyayiyinhloko isiwe endaweni yesihlanu. Isabelo semakethe ye-MDI yaseShayina e-US siyawohloka ngokushesha. Uma uMnyango Wezohwebo wase-US ukhipha isinqumo sokugcina esiqinisekisayo, abakhiqizi abakhulu be-MDI baseShayina bazobhekana nengcindezi yemakethe enzima nakakhulu. Abancintisana nabo abanjengoBASF Korea noKumho Mitsui sebevele bahlele ukwandisa ukuthunyelwa kwamanye amazwe e-US, behlose ukuthola isabelo semakethe esasiphethwe yizinkampani zaseShayina ngaphambilini. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, ukuhlinzekwa kwe-MDI esifundeni sase-Asia-Pacific kulindeleke ukuthi kuqine ngenxa yokuthunyelwa kwamanye amazwe okuqondiswe kabusha, okushiya izinkampani zaseShayina zasekhaya zibhekene nenselele ephindwe kabili yokulahlekelwa izimakethe zaphesheya kanye nokubhekana nokuguquguquka kweketanga lokunikezela lendawo.
