Published Date: 9/11/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Commerce Department found that companies in China making chlorinated isocyanurates got unfair government help in 2022. Because of this, extra duties (taxes) will apply to these imports to keep things fair for U.S. businesses. This means importers should expect changes in costs starting now.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Importers Face New Countervailing Duties
If you import chlorinated isocyanurates from the People’s Republic of China, Commerce determined these producers received countervailable subsidies for the period January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022, and extra duties will apply to those imports. Importers should expect changes in costs as a result of these countervailing duties.
U.S. Producers Receive Trade Protection
Commerce found that producers and exporters of chlorinated isocyanurates from China received countervailable subsidies for January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022. Because countervailing duties will be applied, U.S. producers of this product may receive protection from subsidized imports.
