Scope of the Order
The products covered by the order are
chlorinated isos, which are derivatives
of cyanuric acid, described as
chlorinated s-triazine triones.1
Chlorinated isos are currently
classifiable under subheadings
2933.69.6015, 2933.69.6021,
2933.69.6050, 3808.40.50, 3808.50.40
and 3808.94.5000 of the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTSUS). The HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs
purposes only; the written product
description of the scope of the order is
dispositive.
Methodology
Commerce is conducting this
administrative review in accordance
with section 751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
Export prices have been calculated in
accordance with section 772 of the Act.
Because China is a non-market economy
within the meaning of section 771(18) of
the Act, normal value has been
calculated in accordance with section
773(c) of the Act. For a full description
of the methodology underlying our
conclusions, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum, which is hereby
adopted by this notice. A list of the
topics included in the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum is included as
an appendix to this notice.
The Preliminary Decision
Memorandum is a public document and
is on file electronically via Enforcement
and Compliance’s Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized
Electronic Service System (ACCESS).
ACCESS is available to registered users
at https://access.trade.gov, and it is

review when the importer-specific

Where either the respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de

assessment rate is zero or de minimis,
we will instruct CBP to liquidate the
appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties.
For entries that were not reported in
the U.S. sales database submitted by an
exporter individually examined during
this review, Commerce will instruct
CBP to liquidate such entries at the
China-wide rate. Additionally, if
Commerce determines that an exporter
under review had no shipments of the
subject merchandise, any suspended
entries that entered under that
exporter’s case number will be
liquidated at the China-wide rate.10
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this
administrative review for all shipments
of the subject merchandise from China
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date, as provided for by
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For
the exporters listed above, the cash
deposit rate will be the rate established
in the final results of this review
(except, if the rate is zero or de minimis,
a zero cash deposit rate will be required
for that company); (2) for previously
investigated or reviewed Chinese and
non-Chinese exporters not listed above
that have separate rates, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
existing producer/exporter-specific
combination rate published for the most
recent period; (3) for all Chinese
exporters of subject merchandise that
have not been found to be eligible for a
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will
be the PRC-wide rate of 285.63
percent; 11 and (4) for all non-Chinese
exporters of subject merchandise which
have not received their own rate, the
cash deposit rate will be the rate
applicable to the Chinese exporter(s)
that supplied that non-Chinese exporter.

Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a 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 and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.

results in accordance with sections

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the order are chlorinated isos, which are
derivatives of cyanuric acid, described as chlorinated s-triazine
triones.\1\ Chlorinated isos are currently classifiable under
subheadings 2933.69.6015, 2933.69.6021, 2933.69.6050, 3808.40.50,
3808.50.40 and 3808.94.5000 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the

\1\ For a complete description of the Scope of the Order, see
Memorandum, ``Decision Memorandum for the Preliminary Results of the
2016-2017 Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Chlorinated
Isocyanurates from the People's Republic of China,'' dated
concurrently with this notice (Preliminary Decision Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Methodology
Commerce is conducting this administrative review in accordance
with section 751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act). Export prices have been calculated in accordance with section 772
of the Act. Because China is a non-market economy within the meaning of
section 771(18) of the Act, normal value has been calculated in
accordance with section 773(c) of the Act. For a full description of
the methodology underlying our conclusions, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum, which is hereby adopted by this notice. A list of
the topics included in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is included
as an appendix to this notice.
The Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on
file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS).
ACCESS is available to registered users at https://access.trade.gov,
and it is available to all parties in the Central Records Unit, Room
B8024 of the main Department of Commerce building. In addition, a
complete version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is available at
https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed Preliminary Decision
Memorandum and the electronic version of the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum are identical in content.
Preliminary Results of Review
The administrative review covers three producers/exporters: (1)
Heze Huayi Chemical Co. Ltd. (Heze Huayi); (2) Hebei Jiheng Chemical
Co. Ltd. (Jiheng); and (3) Juancheng Kangtai
[[Page 31954]]
Chemical Co. Ltd. (Kangtai). We preliminarily determine that Heze Huayi
and Kangtai have demonstrated their eligibility for a separate rate,
and have made sales in the United States at prices below normal value
(NV). We also preliminarily determine that Jiheng has not demonstrated
its eligibility for a separate rate. Because Jiheng did not submit a
separate rate response, we preliminarily determine that Jiheng is part
of the China-wide entity.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ Because no interested party requested a review of the China-
wide entity and Commerce no longer considers the China-wide entity
as an exporter conditionally subject to administrative reviews, we
did not conduct a review of the China-wide entity. Thus, the rate
for the China-wide entity is not subject to change as a result of
this review. See Antidumping Proceedings: Announcement of Change in
Department Practice for Respondent Selection in Antidumping Duty
Proceedings and Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity
in NME Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 65963, 65969-70 (November
4, 2013).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the companies subject to this review that have established
their eligibility for a separate rate, Commerce preliminarily
determines that the following weighted-average dumping margins exist
for the period of June 1, 2016, through May 31, 2017:

Commerce intends to disclose the calculations for these preliminary
results within five days of the date of publication of this notice, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Interested parties may submit case briefs within 30 days after the
date of publication of these preliminary results of review.\3\
Rebuttals to case briefs, which must be limited to issues raised in the

Commerce intends to issue the final results of this administrative
review, which will include the results of our analysis of all issues
raised in the case briefs, within 120 days of publication of these
preliminary results in the Federal Register, unless extended, pursuant
to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
Assessment Rates
Upon issuing the final results of this review, Commerce shall
determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this
review.\8\ Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15
days after the date of publication of the final results of this review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we are calculating
importer- (or customer-) specific assessment rates for the merchandise
subject to this review. For any individually examined respondent whose
weighted-average dumping margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.50
percent), Commerce will calculate importer-specific assessment rates on
the basis of the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for
the importer's examined sales and the total entered value of sales.\9\
We will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review when the importer-specific assessment
rate is above de minimis. Where either the respondent's weighted-
average dumping margin is zero or de minimis, or an importer-specific
assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.

Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For entries that were not reported in the U.S. sales database
submitted by an exporter individually examined during this review,
Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the China-wide
rate. Additionally, if Commerce determines that an exporter under
review had no shipments of the subject merchandise, any suspended
entries that entered under that exporter's case number will be
liquidated at the China-wide rate.\10\

of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011).

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this administrative review for all
shipments of the subject merchandise from China entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as
provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the exporters
listed above, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established in the
final results of this review (except, if the rate is zero or de
minimis, a zero cash deposit rate will be required for that company);
(2) for previously investigated or reviewed Chinese and non-Chinese
exporters not listed above that have separate rates, the cash deposit
rate will continue to be the existing producer/exporter-specific
combination rate published for the most recent period; (3) for all
Chinese exporters of subject merchandise that have not been found to be
eligible for a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the PRC-
wide rate of 285.63 percent; \11\ and (4) for all non-Chinese exporters
of subject merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash
deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the Chinese exporter(s)
that supplied that non-Chinese exporter. These deposit requirements,
when
[[Page 31955]]
imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

Fair Value: Chlorinated Isocyanurates From the People's Republic of

Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a 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 and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213 and 19
CFR 351.221(b)(4).
Dated: July 3, 2018.
Gary Taverman,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations, performing the non-exclusive functions and duties of the
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
