 INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-501 and 731-TA-1226 (Final)]


Chlorinated Isocyanurates From China and Japan

Determinations

    On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject 
investigations, the United States International Trade Commission 
(``Commission'') determines, pursuant to section 705(b) of the Tariff 
Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b)) (``the Act''), that an industry in the 
United States is threatened with material injury by reason of imports 
of chlorinated isocyanurates from China, provided for in 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, that have been found by the Department of Commerce 
(``Commerce'') to be subsidized by the government of China.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \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\ The Commission additionally determined that it would not 
have found material injury by reason of subject imports of 
chlorinated isocyanurates from China but for the suspension of 
liquidation of entries on the subject imports.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission further determines, pursuant to section 735(b) of 
the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)), that an industry in the United States is 
not materially injured or threatened with material injury, and the 
establishment of an industry in the United States is not materially 
retarded, by reason of imports of chlorinated isocyanurates from Japan 
that have been found by Commerce to be sold in the United States at 
less than fair value (``LTFV'').\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Vice Chairman Dean A. Pinkert determines that an industry in 
the United States is materially injured by reason of imports from 
China and Japan of chlorinated isocyanurates.

Background

    The Commission instituted these investigations effective August 29, 
2013, following receipt of a petition filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by Clearon Corp., South Charleston, WV; and Occidental 
Chemical Corp., Dallas, TX. The final phase of the investigations was 
scheduled by the Commission following notification of preliminary 
determinations by Commerce that imports of chlorinated isocyanurates 
from China were subsidized within the meaning of section 703(b) of the 
Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(b)) and that imports of chlorinated isocyanurates 
from Japan were dumped within the meaning of 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 19, 2014 (79 FR 28771). The hearing was held in Washington, DC, on 
September 9, 2014, and all persons who requested the opportunity were 
permitted to appear in person or by counsel.
