No party submitted case briefs on the Preliminary Results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Chlorinated Isocyanurates from Spain: Preliminary 
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

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, 
2005).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
