Importers Keep Paying Duties

Domestic Producers Retain Protection
If you manufacture chlorinated isocyanurates in the United States, the industry retains protection because the Commission found that revoking the countervailing duty order would likely cause material injury. The determination was completed and filed on November 19, 2025, as part of the five‑year review.
