Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised for the preliminary
results of this sunset review are
addressed in the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.9 The issues discussed in
the Preliminary Decision Memorandum
are the likelihood of continuation or
recurrence of dumping, and the
magnitude of the margins of dumping
likely to prevail if this Order were
revoked.10 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 in the
Central Records Unit, Room B8024 of
the main Commerce building. In
addition, a complete version of the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum can
be accessed directly on the internet 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
Pursuant to sections 752(c) of the Act,
we determine that revocation of the AD
order on OCTG from Ukraine would be
likely to lead to continuation or
recurrence of dumping at weighted
average margins of 7.47 percent.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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.

Preliminary Determination of No

Commerce published in the Federal
Register a notice of initiation of this
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on chlorinated

Ercros.1 Commerce received a timely
submission from Ercros reporting that it
did not sell or export the subject
merchandise to the United States during

the POR.2 On August 29, 2019, we
transmitted a ‘‘No-Shipment Inquiry’’ to
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) regarding this company. Pursuant
to this inquiry, Commerce received no
notification from CBP of entries of
subject merchandise from Ercros within
the ten-day deadline. Accordingly,
based on record evidence, we
preliminarily determine that Ercros had
no shipments of subject merchandise
during the POR. Consistent with our
practice, Commerce finds that it is not
appropriate to rescind the review with
respect to Ercros, but rather to complete
the review with respect to Ercros and
issue appropriate instructions to CBP
based on the final results of this
review.3
Public Comment
Interested parties may submit cases
briefs no later than 30 days after the

Assessment Rates
In accordance with Commerce’s
practice, we find it appropriate to
complete the review and issue
liquidation instructions to CBP
concerning entries for Ercros following
issuance of the final results of review.
If we continue to find that Ercros had no
shipments of subject merchandise in the
final results, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate any existing entries of
merchandise produced by Ercros, but
exported by other parties, at the rate for
the intermediate reseller, if available, or
at the all-others rate.9
We intend to issue instructions to
CBP 15 days after the publication date

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
this administrative review, as provided
by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1)
The cash deposit rate for Ercros will
remain unchanged from the rate
assigned to the company in the most
recently completed review of that
company; (2) for other manufacturers
and exporters covered in a prior
segment of the proceeding, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be 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

Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a

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 the
Secretary’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July
30, 2019, Commerce published the final
results of the 2016–2017 administrative
review of the AD order on solar cells
from China in the Federal Register.1 In
the Final Results, we incorrectly
included Wuxi Suntech Power Co., Ltd/
Luoyang Suntech Power Co., Ltd. (Wuxi
Suntech) in the list of companies we
were continuing to find had made no
shipments of subject merchandise to the
United States during the POR. However,
in the Preliminary Results we stated the
following:
We found that Wuxi Suntech Power Co.,
Ltd/Luoyang Suntech Power Co., Ltd. . . . ,
which claimed no exports, sales or entries of
subject merchandise during the POR did, in
fact, sell subject merchandise to the United
States during the POR. {This company did
not file} a separate rate application or
certification and thus they have not
established their entitlement to a separate
rate in this review.2
We based this preliminary finding on
record evidence that Wuxi Suntech sold
subject merchandise to the United
States during the POR.3 We provided
Wuxi Suntech an opportunity to discuss
the evidence at the time that we placed
it on the record,4 and also provided
Wuxi Suntech with an opportunity to
submit a case brief concerning our
Preliminary Results. Wuxi Suntech did
not comment on the evidence or submit
a case brief. Thus, there was no basis,
and Commerce did not intend, to
change our preliminary decision with
respect to Wuxi Suntech’s Power Co.,
Ltd/Luoyang Suntech Power Co., Ltd.’s
no shipment claim or our preliminary
finding that this company was not
eligible for a separate rate. Hence, we
erred when we included Wuxi Suntech

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.
Preliminary Determination of No Shipments
Commerce published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation
of this administrative review of the antidumping duty order on
chlorinated isos from Spain covering one company, Ercros.\1\ Commerce
received a timely submission from Ercros reporting that it did not sell
or export the subject merchandise to the United States during the
POR.\2\ On August 29, 2019, we transmitted a ``No-Shipment Inquiry'' to
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regarding this company.
Pursuant to this inquiry, Commerce received no notification from CBP of
entries of subject merchandise from Ercros within the ten-day deadline.
Accordingly, based on record evidence, we preliminarily determine that
Ercros had no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR.
Consistent with our practice, Commerce finds that it is not appropriate
to rescind the review with respect to Ercros, but rather to complete
the review with respect to Ercros and issue appropriate instructions to
CBP based on the final results of this review.\3\

Assessment Rates
In accordance with Commerce's practice, we find it appropriate to
complete the review and issue liquidation instructions to CBP
concerning entries for Ercros following issuance of the final results
of review. If we continue to find that Ercros had no shipments of
subject merchandise in the final results, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate any existing entries of merchandise produced by Ercros, but
exported by other parties, at the rate for the intermediate reseller,
if available, or at the all-others rate.\9\

Notification to Importers
This notice also 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 review period. Failure to comply
with this requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
We are issuing and publishing this administrative review and notice
in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act.
Dated: September 23, 2019.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
