China Chlorinated Isocyanurates: Commerce Postpones Preliminary Determination

The Commerce Department is extending until Feb. 11 the deadline for the preliminary determination in its countervailing duty investigation on chlorinated isocyanurates from China (C-570-991). Commerce’s preliminary finding was originally due Dec. 8, but the agency said the late due date for the original questionnaire and the complicated nature of the investigation justify pushing it back. Cash deposits of estimated CV duties can only be collected after the preliminary determination in AD duty investigations, although cash deposits can be made retroactive 90 days from the preliminary determination if Commerce finds “critical circumstances.”
