Chlorinated Isocyanurates from the 

People’s Republic of China: Final 

Results of Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 10, 2008. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(‘‘the Department’’) is conducting an 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on chlorinated 

isocyanurates from the People’s 

Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) covering the 

period June 1, 2006, through May 31, 

2007. We invited interested parties to 

comment on our preliminary results. 

Based on our analysis of the comments 

received, we have made changes to our 

margin calculations. Therefore, the final 

results differ from the preliminary 

results.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On May 6, 2008, the Department 

published its preliminary results of 

review of the antidumping order on 

chlorinated isocyanurates from the PRC. 

See Chlorinated Isocyanurates from the 

People’s Republic of China: Preliminary 

Results of Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review, 73 FR 24943 

(May 6, 2008) (‘‘Preliminary Results’’). 

On May 27, 2008, Clearon Corporation 

(‘‘Clearon’’) and Occidental Chemical 

Corporation (‘‘Petitioners’’), Petitioners 

in the underlying investigation, and 

Hebei Jiheng Chemical Corporation, Ltd. 

(‘‘Jiheng’’) provided additional 

information on the appropriate 

surrogate values to use as a means of 

valuing the factors of production. On 

June 5, 2008, the Department received a 

request for a hearing from Petitioners. 

On June 12, 2008, the Department 

received case briefs from Petitioners and 

from respondents Jiheng and Nanning 

Chemical Industry Co. Ltd. (‘‘Nanning’’). 

On June 17, 2008, the Department 

received rebuttal briefs from Petitioners 

and Jiheng. On July 22, 2008, the 

Department held a public hearing. We 

have conducted this administrative 

review in accordance with section 751 

of the Tariff act of 1930, as amended 

(‘‘the Act’’), and 19 CFR 351.213. 

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by this order 

are chlorinated isocyanurates, as 

described below: 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 (Cl3(NCO)3), 

(2) sodium dichloroisocyanurate 

(dihydrate) (NaCl2(NCO)3•2H2O), and 

(3) sodium dichloroisocyanurate 

(anhydrous) (NaCl2(NCO)3). Chlorinated 

isocyanurates are available in powder, 

granular, and tableted forms. This order 

covers all chlorinated isocyanurates. 

Chlorinated isocyanurates are 

currently classifiable under subheadings 

2933.69.6015, 2933.69.6021, 

2933.69.6050, 3808.40.50, 3808.50.40 

and 3808.94.50.00 of the Harmonized 

Tariff Schedule of the United States 

(‘‘HTSUS’’). The tariff classification 

2933.69.6015 covers sodium 

dichloroisocyanurates (anhydrous and 

dehydrate 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. Although the 

HTSUS subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of the scope of this 

order is dispositive. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the post–

preliminary comments by parties in this 

review are addressed in the 

memorandum from Stephen J. Claeys, 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import 

Administration, to David M. Spooner, 

Assistant Secretary for Import 

Administration, ‘‘Issues and Decision 

Memorandum for the 2006–2007 

Administrative Review of Chlorinated 

Isocyanurates from the People’s 

Republic of China,’’ dated concurrently 

with this notice (‘‘Issues and Decision 

Memorandum’’), which is hereby 

adopted by this notice. A list of the 

issues that parties raised and to which 

we responded in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum is attached to 

this notice as an appendix. The Issues 

and Decision Memorandum is a public 

document and is on file in the Central 

Records Unit (‘‘CRU’’) in room 1117 in 

the main Commerce Department 

building, and is also accessible on the 

Web at http://ia.ita.doc.gov/frn. The 

paper copy and electronic version of the 

memorandum are identical in content. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on our analysis of comments 

received, we have made changes in the 

margin calculations for Jiheng and 

Nanning. See Issues and Decision 

Memorandum at Comments 1–8. 

We have revised the surrogate value 

for electricity. For the final results, we 

find that the best available information 

with which to value electricity is the 

electricity price data for small, medium, 

and large industries, as published by the 

Central Electricity Authority of the 

Government of India in its publication 

titled Electricity Tariff & Duty and 

Average Rates of Electricity Supply in 

India, dated July 2006. See Issues and 

Decision Memorandum at Comment 3 

and the Memorandum to the File titled 

‘‘Surrogate Value Memorandum,’’ dated 

concurrently with this notice (‘‘Final 

Surrogate Value Memorandum’’). 

We revised the financial ratio 

calculations to include rates and taxes, 

to exclude income relating to a prior 

year adjustment, and to include income 

items within miscellaneous income that 

have identifiable expenses. See Issues 

and Decision Memorandum at 

Comments 5A through 5D and the Final 

Surrogate Value Memorandum, dated 

concurrently with this notice. 

We corrected certain clerical errors in 

the calculations for the Preliminary 

Results. See Issues and Decision 

Memorandum at Comments 7A through 

7D, the Final Surrogate Value 

Memorandum, and Memorandum to the 

File titled ‘‘Analysis Memorandum for 

the Final Results: Hebei Jiheng 

Chemical Company, Ltd.,’’ dated 

concurrently with this notice. 

Final Results of Review 

We determined that the following 

dumping margins exist for the period 

June 1, 2006, through May 31, 2007. 

Exporter/Manufacturer Weighted–Average 

Margin Percentage 

Jiheng ........................... 0.80 

Nanning ........................ 53.67 

Assessment Rates 

The Department intends to issue 

assessment instructions to U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) 15 days 

after the date of publication of these 

final results of review. In accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we have 

calculated importer–specific assessment 

rates for merchandise subject to this 

review.

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following deposit requirements 

will be effective upon publication of 

this notice of final results of 

administrative review for all shipments 

of subject merchandise entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the date of 

publication, as provided by section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) for subject 

merchandise exported by Jiheng, the 

cash deposit rate will be 0.80 percent 

and for subject merchandise exported by 

Nanning, the cash deposit rate will be 

53.67 percent; (2) for previously 

reviewed or investigated exporters not 

listed above that have separate rates, the 

cash deposit rate will continue to be the 

exporter–specific rate published for the 

most recent period; (3) for all PRC 

exporters of subject merchandise, which 

have not been found to be entitled to a 

separate rate, the cash deposit rate will 

be the PRC–wide rate of 285.63 percent; 

and (4) for all non–PRC exporters of 

subject merchandise that have not

rate will be the rate applicable to the 

PRC exporter that supplied that non–

PRC exporter. These deposit 

requirements shall remain in effect until 

further notice. 

Notification of Interested Parties 

This notice also serves as a final 

reminder to importers of their 

responsibility under 19 CFR 

351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 

regarding the reimbursement of 

antidumping duties prior to liquidation 

of the relevant entries during this 

review period. Failure to comply with 

this requirement could result in the 

Secretary’s presumption that 

reimbursement of the antidumping 

duties occurred and the subsequent 

assessment of double antidumping 

duties. This notice also serves as a 

reminder to parties subject to 

administrative protective orders 

(‘‘APOs’’) of their responsibility 

concerning the return or destruction of 

proprietary information disclosed under 

APO in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.305, which continues to govern 

business proprietary information in this 

segment of the proceeding. Timely 

written notification of the return/ 

destruction of APO materials or 

conversion to judicial protective order is 

hereby requested. Failure to comply 

with the regulations and terms of an 

APO is a violation that is subject to 

sanction. 

We are issuing and publishing these 

final results of review and notice in 

accordance with sections 751(a) and 

777(i) of the Act. 

Dated: September 3, 2008.
