INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION
[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-738 and 731-TA-1713-1715 (Final)]
Hexamine (Hexamethylenetetramine) From Germany, India, and Saudi
Arabia; 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 hexamine from Germany, India, and Saudi Arabia,
provided for in subheading 2933.69.50 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.\2\ \3\
\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\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 45728, 45725, 45723, and 45720 (September 23, 2025).
\3\ Commissioner David S. Johanson determines that an industry
in the United States is threatened with material injury by reason of
imports of hexamine from Germany, India, and Saudi Arabia that have
been found by Commerce to be sold in the United States at LTFV and
subsidized by the government of India.
\4\ The Commission also finds that imports subject to Commerce's
affirmative critical circumstances determinations with respect to
Germany and India are not likely to undermine seriously the remedial
effect of the antidumping duty order on hexamine from Germany or the
antidumping duty and countervailing duty orders on hexamine from
India.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Background
The Commission instituted these investigations effective September
30, 2024, following receipt of petitions filed with the Commission and
Commerce by Bakelite Synthetics (Atlanta, Georgia). The Commission
scheduled the final phase of the investigations following notification
of preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports of hexamine from
China were subsidized 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
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 on May 22, 2025 (90 FR 21948 and as revised in 90 FR 31241,
July 14, 2025). The Commission conducted its hearing on July 18, 2025.
All persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to
participate.
The investigation schedules became staggered when Commerce did not
align its antidumping and countervailing duty investigations with
respect to China with its antidumping duty investigations with respect
to Germany, India, and Saudi Arabia, and its countervailing duty
investigation with respect to India, and reached earlier final
antidumping and countervailing duty determinations with respect to
China. On September 3, 2025, the Commission issued final affirmative
determinations in its antidumping and countervailing duty
investigations of hexamine from China (90 FR 43234, September 8, 2025).
Following notification of final determinations by Commerce that imports
of hexamine from Germany, India, and Saudi Arabia were being sold at
LTFV within the meaning of section 735(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C.
1673d(a)) and that imports of hexamine from India were being subsidized
within the meaning of section 703(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(b)),
notice of the supplemental scheduling of the final phase of the
Commission's antidumping duty investigations with respect to Germany,
India, and Saudi Arabia and its countervailing duty investigation with
respect to India 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 on
October 1, 2025 (90 FR 47327).\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ Due to the lapse in appropriations and ensuing cessation of
Commission operations, the Commission tolled its schedule for this
proceeding. The schedule was revised in a subsequent notice
published in the Federal Register on November 20, 2025 (90 FR
52436).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Commission made these determinations pursuant to Sec. Sec.
705(b) and 735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b) and 19 U.S.C.
1673d(b)). It completed and filed its determinations in these
investigations on December 22, 2025. The views of the Commission are
contained in USITC Publication 5693 (December 2025), entitled Hexamine
(Hexamethylenetetramine) from Germany, India, and Saudi Arabia:
Investigation Nos. 701-TA-738 and 731-TA-1713-1715 (Final).
By order of the Commission.
Issued: December 22, 2025.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
