Expedited review may keep or lift tariffs
The U.S. International Trade Commission is conducting expedited five-year reviews to decide whether the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on calcium hypochlorite from China should be revoked or kept. A key determination is scheduled for September 5, 2025, and the review could affect U.S. businesses that make or sell this chemical and could impact prices and trade rules.
Review timeline may be extended up to 90 days
The Commission has determined the reviews are extraordinarily complicated and may extend the review period by up to 90 days under 19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)(B). That extension would delay the final outcome beyond the scheduled September 5, 2025 date.
