Arch Chemicals Inc. (ARJ) said that the U.S. Department of Commerce has determined the final antidumping duty rate to be 20% for the third administrative review period.
This ruling relates to chlorinated isocyanurates that the company imported from its major Chinese supplier for the period from June 1, 2007 through May 31, 2008.
During this period, the company paid duty rates of 76% for part of the period and 20 percent for the remainder of the period. This final determination supercedes the DOC's preliminary ruling published in June of this year and is appealable to the Court of International Trade.
Arch estimates that the net impact of this final duty will result in a pre-tax benefit of about $1 million and this benefit will be recognized in the fourth quarter of 2009.
The timing and amount of this final duty is consistent with the company's previous guidance and expectations. In addition, the company will now begin paying cash deposits for imports of isos at this final published rate of 20%.
