Spain's Pool Chemicals Cleared in U.S. Dumping Probe
Published Date: 2/4/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce checked if chlorinated isocyanurates from Spain were sold unfairly cheap in the U.S. from June 2022 to May 2023 and found they were not. This means no extra taxes or penalties will be added to these products. The final decision is official as of February 4, 2025, and businesses can keep trading as usual without changes in costs.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
24.83% All-Others Duty Applies in Some Cases
Commerce will instruct Customs to liquidate certain unreviewed or otherwise uncovered entries at the all-others ad valorem rate of 24.83% if neither the exporter nor producer has a company-specific rate or if intermediate companies lack a rate. Also, if neither exporter nor producer was covered by this review or a prior completed segment, the cash deposit rate will be 24.83% ad valorem for shipments entered on or after publication.
No Antidumping Duties for Reviewed Spanish Firms
Commerce found that chlorinated isocyanurates from Spain were not sold at less than normal value for the period June 1, 2022 through May 31, 2023, and assigned weighted-average dumping margins of 0.00% to Ercros S.A., Electroquimica de Hernani, S.A., and Industrias Quimicas Tamar S.L. Because the margins are 0.00%, no antidumping cash deposit is required for shipments of these companies entered on or after the publication date, February 4, 2025.
