CIT Decision May Lead to Change in AD Rates for China Chlorinated Isocyanurates

Antidumping duty rates for three exporters of chlorinated isocyanurates from China (A-570-898) may change, after the Court of International Trade on July 24 ordered the Commerce Department to reconsider certain aspects of an administrative review. Commerce had on Jan. 30 assigned new AD duty cash deposit rates ranging from 47.17% to 59.12% to Hebei Jiheng Chemical, Juancheng Kantai Chemical, and Arch Chemicals in the final results (see 14012914). But in response to challenges from the Chinese exporters and domestic industry, as well as the agency’s own request, the Court remanded certain issues back to Commerce. Any changes may affect current AD duty cash deposit requirements, as well as assessments of duties on importers of subject merchandise from these companies entered between June 2011 and May 2012.
