Product description- The product under consideration in the present application is Cyanuric Chloride. The product is also known as 2,4,6-Trichloro-1,3,5-triazine, 2,4,6-trichloro-, s-Triazine, 2,4,6-trichloro-, Trichlorotriazine.
It is a white crystalline organic compound with a pungent odor. Cyanuric Chloride has a molecular weight of 184.41 g/mol and a melting point of approximately 146°C. It is soluble in water, with solubility of about 0.44 g/l at 20°C. The product generally traded in one form with 99% concentration (purity).
HS Codes- The product does not have a dedicated classification, however, it is imported under 2916 39 90, 2933 39 90, 2933 69 10, 2933 69 90 and 2933 71 00. The custom classification code is indicative only and is not binding on the scope of the present investigation.
Uses- The primary function of Cyanuric Chloride is to act as a reactive chemical intermediate used in the manufacture of a wide range of downstream chemicals. The product is predominantly used as an intermediate in the agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and dyes and pigments industries
Countries Involved – China PR and European Union
Applicant- Superform Chemistries limited
Period of Investigation- 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026
Injury Period- 2022-23, 2023-24, 2024-25 and the period of investigationFacts of the present case – The present application has been filed by Superform Chemistries Limited, the first producer of the subject goods in the domestic market. The evidence submitted by the applicant shows that imports of the subject goods have increased sharply during the period of investigation. The dumped imports have prevented the domestic industry from recovering its costs and earning a reasonable return on its investments. The applicant is only able to utilize its capacity in single-digit and has been operating at financial losses with negative return on capital employed. The evidence shows prima facie evidence of a causal link between dumping from China and European Union, and the injury suffered by the applicant.
