Calcium Hypochlorite Tariffs from China Extended Indefinitely
Published Date: 2/13/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. government is keeping special taxes on calcium hypochlorite imported from China because stopping them could hurt American businesses. These taxes help stop unfair pricing and unfair government help from China. This decision started on February 10, 2026, and means importers will keep paying extra fees to protect U.S. industries.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Importers Continue Paying AD/CVD
If you import calcium hypochlorite from the People’s Republic of China, U.S. Customs and Border Protection will continue to collect antidumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) cash deposits at the rates in effect at the time of entry. This continuation is effective February 10, 2026, so importers will keep paying extra duties on subject shipments.
U.S. Industry Protected from Injury
The Department of Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission found that revoking the AD and CVD orders would likely bring back dumping, subsidies, and material injury to a U.S. industry. By continuing the orders effective February 10, 2026, the U.S. government is maintaining measures intended to protect domestic calcium hypochlorite producers from unfairly priced or subsidized imports.
Which Products Are Covered
The orders apply to calcium hypochlorite in any form (powder, tablet, granular, or liquid solution) if it contains at least 10 percent available chlorine by actual weight. The notice lists identifying details used for customs purposes, including HTSUS subheading 2828.10.0000, CAS registry number 7778-54-3, EPA Pesticide Code 014701, and certain IMDG/UN codes.
