Preliminary LTFV finding on hexamine
The U.S. Department of Commerce preliminarily found that hexamethylenetetramine from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was sold in the United States at less than fair value for the period July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024. If you import or sell this chemical from Saudi Arabia, this finding starts a trade remedy process that could affect how those imports are handled.
Final decision postponed; provisional measures extended
Commerce is postponing the final determination in this investigation and is extending provisional measures. That means the final decision will take longer, and the provisional steps already in place will remain while the review continues.
