The International Trade Commission found that imports of hexamethylenetetramine (hexamine) from Germany, India and Saudi Arabia injure a U.S. industry, paving the way for antidumping duty and countervailing duty orders, the agency announced Dec. 10. It issued this final determination following a Commerce Department finding that imports from Germany, India and Saudi Arabia are sold in the U.S. at less than fair value, and imports from India are subsidized by the Indian government (see 2509220038 and 2509220027). As a result, the Commerce Department will issue AD orders on hexamine imports from Germany, India and Saudi Arabia and a CVD order on imports of this product from India.
