Scope of the Order
The products covered by this order are chlorinated isocyanurates.
Chlorinated isocyanurates are derivatives of cyanuric acid, described
as chlorinated s-triazine triones. There are three primary chemical
compositions of chlorinated isocyanurates: (1) trichloroisocyanuric
acid (TCCA) (Cl3(NCO)3), (2) sodium dichloroisocyanurate (dihydrate)
(NaCl2(NCO)3 X 2H2O), and (3) sodium dichloroisocyanurate (anhydrous)
(NaCl2(NCO)3). Chlorinated isocyanurates are available in powder,
granular and solid (e.g., tablet or stick) forms.
Chlorinated isocyanurates are currently classifiable under
subheadings 2933.69.6015, 2933.69.6021, 2933.69.6050, 3808.50.4000,
3808.94.5000, and 3808.99.9500 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS). The tariff classification 2933.69.6015 covers
sodium dichloroisocyanurates (anhydrous and dihydrate forms) and
trichloroisocyanuric acid. The tariff classifications 2933.69.6021 and
2933.69.6050 represent basket categories that include chlorinated
isocyanurates and other compounds including an unfused triazine ring.
The tariff classifications 3808.50.4000, 3808.94.5000 and 3808.99.9500
cover disinfectants that include chlorinated isocyanurates. The HTSUS
subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes. The
written description of the scope of this order is dispositive.
Continuation of the Order
As a result of the determinations by Commerce and the ITC that
revocation of the Order would likely lead to continuation or recurrence
of countervailable subsidies and material injury to an industry in the
United States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the Act, Commerce
hereby orders the continuation of the Order. U.S. Customs and Border
Protection will continue to collect CVD cash deposits at the rates in
effect at the time of entry for all imports of subject merchandise.
The effective date of the continuation of the Order will be
November 21, 2025.\6\ Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.218(c)(2), Commerce intends to initiate the next five-year
reviews of the Order not later than 30 days prior to fifth anniversary
of the date of the last determination by the ITC.
