SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 19, 2019, Commerce published the Preliminary Results.\1\
No party submitted case briefs on the Preliminary Results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2017-2018, 84 FR
42898 (August 19, 2019).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the 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 (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. The order covers all chlorinated
isocyanurates. Chlorinated isocyanurates are currently classifiable
under subheadings 2933.69.6015, 2933.69.6021, and 2933.69.6050 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. Although the HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description
of the scope of the order is dispositive.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
No parties submitted comments on the Preliminary Results; therefore
we have made no changes to our calculations, and the final results do
not differ from the Preliminary Results.
Final Results of Review
As a result of this review, we determine that, for the period June
1, 2017 through May 31, 2018, the following dumping margin exists:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weight-
average
Manufacturer/exporter dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ercros..................................................... 0.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of
subject merchandise in accordance with the final results of this
review. Commerce intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions
directly to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of these final
results of review. Since Ercros' weighted-average dumping margin is
zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate
entries without regard to antidumping duties.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the
final results of
[[Page 66156]]
this administrative review, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act): (1) The cash deposit rate for
Ercros will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established
in the final results of this review, except if the rate is de minimis
within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), in which case the cash
deposit rate will be zero; (2) for other manufacturers and exporters
covered in a prior segment of the proceeding, the cash deposit rate
will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most
recently completed segment of this proceeding in which that
manufacturer or exporter participated; (3) if the exporter is not a
firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original less-than-
fair-value (LTFV) investigation, but the manufacturer is, the cash
deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recently
completed segment of this proceeding for the manufacturer of subject
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers
or exporters will continue to be 24.83 percent, the all-others rate
established in the LTFV investigation.\2\ These deposit requirements,
when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 70 FR 24506 (May 10,

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers
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 Commerce's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred, which will result in the
subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders
This notice is the only reminder to parties subject to the
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under the APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which
continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of
the proceeding. Timely written notification of the return or
destruction of APO materials, or conversion to judicial protective
order, is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and
the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
We are issuing and publishing these final results and this notice
in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.213(h).
Dated: November 25, 2019.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
