INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION
[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-707 and 731-TA-1668 (Final)]
Melamine From India
Determinations
On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject
investigations, the United States International Trade Commission
(``Commission'') determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the
Act''), that an industry in the United States is materially injured by
reason of imports of melamine from India, provided for in subheading
2933.61.00 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, that
have been found by the U.S. Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') to be
sold in the United States at less than fair value (``LTFV'') and
subsidized by the government of India.<SUP>2 3</SUP>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The record is defined in Sec. 207.2(f) of the Commission's
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).
\2\ 90 FR 9413 and 9415, February 12, 2025.
\3\ The Commission also finds that imports subject to Commerce's
affirmative critical circumstances determinations are not likely to
undermine seriously the remedial effect of the antidumping and
countervailing duty orders on India.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Background
The Commission instituted these investigations effective February
14, 2024, following receipt of petitions filed with the Commission and
Commerce by Cornerstone Chemical Company, Waggaman, Louisiana. The
Commission scheduled the final phase of the investigations following
notification of preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports of
melamine are being subsidized by the governments of Germany, India,
Qatar, and Trinidad and Tobago within the meaning of section 703(b) of
the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(b)) and imports of melamine from Germany,
India, Japan, Netherlands, Qatar, and Trinidad and Tobago are being
sold at LTFV within the meaning of section 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C.
1673b(b)). Notice of the scheduling of the final phase of the
Commission's investigations and of a public hearing to be held in
connection therewith was given by posting copies of the notice in the
Office of the Secretary, U.S. International Trade Commission,
Washington, DC, and by publishing the notice in the Federal Register of
September 30, 2024 (89 FR 79637). The Commission conducted its hearing
on December 3, 2024. All persons who requested the opportunity were
permitted to participate.
The investigation schedules became staggered when Commerce
postponed the final determination for its antidumping duty
investigation regarding India, and aligned the final determination for
its countervailing duty investigation regarding India with the
corresponding antidumping duty investigation, but did not postpone the
final determinations in the remaining antidumping duty and
countervailing duty investigations. Following notification of final
determinations by Commerce that imports of melamine from India were
being subsidized by the government of India within the meaning of
section 703(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(b)) and sold at LTFV within
the meaning of section 735(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(a)), notice
of the supplemental scheduling of the final phase of the Commission's
countervailing duty and antidumping duty investigations was given by
posting copies of the notice in the Office of the Secretary, U.S.
International Trade Commission, Washington, DC, and by publishing the
notice in the Federal Register of February 21, 2025 (90 FR 10083).

The Commission made these determinations pursuant to Sec. 735(b)
of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)). It completed and filed its
determinations in these investigations on March 31, 2025. The views of
the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 5603 (March 2025),
