The next step is for the International Trade Commission to make its final injury determination, currently scheduled for Oct. 23. If the ITC finds injury, Commerce will issue an AD duty order and duties will be made permanent. If the ITC finds no injury, the investigation will be terminated and all cash deposits will be refunded.

Estimated AD Cash Deposit Rates

Commerce will instruct CBP to continue to suspend liquidation of chlorinated isocyanurates from Japan entered on or after April 24, and require an AD duty cash deposit equal to the following AD rates:
