The U.S. Department of Commerce has released preliminary findings indicating that producers and exporters of chlorinated isocyanurates from China received government subsidies during 2022. The review highlights that ten companies had no entries of these products in the U.S. during the review period and, as a result, the review of these companies has been partially rescinded. The Department of Commerce invites interested parties to comment on these preliminary results and to submit case briefs, with a final decision expected within 120 days. These results will determine the countervailing duties imposed to offset the subsidies.
Simple Explanation
The U.S. Department of Commerce thinks some companies in China got extra help from their government to make pool-cleaning products cheaper, and they're trying to figure out how much extra tax to charge on these products when they're sold in the U.S., but right now, they're still looking at the details and asking everyone what they think.
