This notice serves as a preliminary
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 POR.
Failure to comply with this requirement
could result in the Secretary’s

antidumping duties occurred and
increase the subsequent assessment of
the antidumping duties by the amount
of the antidumping duties reimburses.

Scope of the Order
The products covered by the order are
chloro isos, which are derivatives are
cyanuric acid, described as chlorinated
s-triazine triones.1 Chloro isos are
currently classifiable under subheadings
2933.69.6015, 2933.69.6021,
2933.69.6050, 3808.50.4000,

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS). The HTSUS
subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes; the
written product description of the scope
of the order is dispositive.
Methodology
On November 13, 2014, the
Department published in the Federal
Register a countervailing duty (CVD)
order on chloro isos from the PRC.2 The
Department is conducting this
administrative review in accordance
with section 751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For
each of the subsidy programs found
countervailable, we preliminarily find
that there is a subsidy (i.e., a financial
contribution from an authority that
gives rise to a benefit to the recipient),
and that the subsidy is specific.3 In
making this preliminary determination,
the Department relied, in part, on facts
otherwise available, with the
application of adverse inferences.4 For
further information, see ‘‘Use of Facts
Otherwise Available and Adverse
Inferences’’ in the accompanying
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.5 A
list of topics discussed in the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum is
