Spain's Pool Chemicals Cleared, No Duties in Latest Review
Published Date: 9/3/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that two Spanish companies, Hernani and Ercros, sold chlorinated isocyanurates at fair prices from June 2024 to May 2025. They also stopped reviewing another company, Industrias Químicas Tamar. This means no extra duties will be charged for these companies during this period, and people can still share their thoughts on these findings.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 3 costs, 0 mixed.
File Reimbursement Certificate or Risk Double Duties
Importers must file a certificate about reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries under 19 CFR 351.402(f). If an importer fails to file this certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and assess double antidumping duties.
Zero Preliminary Dumping Margins
Commerce preliminarily found that Electroquímica de Hernani, S.A. and Ercros, S.A. had a weighted-average dumping margin of 0.00 percent for the period June 1, 2024 through May 31, 2025. If these final results remain zero or are de minimis (less than 0.50 percent), Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to liquidate those entries without regard to antidumping duties.
Cash Deposit Rules and 24.83% All‑Others Rate
Commerce states that cash deposit requirements for shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results will use the company-specific rates from the final results, except that rates under 0.50 percent will be treated as zero. The cash-deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters will remain 24.83 percent (the all-others rate from the original investigation).
Rescission for Industrias Químicas Tamar
Commerce is rescinding the administrative review for Industrias Químicas Tamar because there were no reviewable, suspended entries of that company's subject merchandise during the period June 1, 2024 through May 31, 2025. For that company, Commerce will instruct Customs to assess antidumping duties at the cash-deposit rate required at the time of entry, and rescission instructions will be issued no earlier than 35 days after publication of the notice.

They found that Haur Tyi Paper Bag Co. didn’t sell these bags at unfairly low prices, and they stopped reviewing five other companies because no one asked for it. This means no extra duties for Haur Tyi right now, and the review process is moving forward with some deadlines adjusted due to a government shutdown.
