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.
