Summary

Possible duties on hexamine imports
The U.S. has opened final-phase antidumping and countervailing duty investigations into hexamine from China, Germany, India, and Saudi Arabia; the final phase is scheduled to be completed by May 6, 2025. These investigations could lead to antidumping or countervailing duties (extra import taxes) that would raise costs for importers and U.S. businesses that use hexamine.
Commerce preliminary findings of dumping and subsidies
The Department of Commerce preliminarily determined that hexamine from China and India is being subsidized by those governments, and that hexamine from China, Germany, India, and Saudi Arabia is being sold in the United States at less-than-fair-value. These preliminary determinations are part of the final phase of the investigations.
Which hexamine products are covered
The investigation covers granular hexamine with a particle size of 5 millimeters or less that contains 50 percent or more hexamine by weight, including blends and merchandise processed in third countries; if your product matches this description, it is within the investigation scope.
