Description

This notice announces the initiation of a countervailing duty (CVD) investigation by the U.S. Department of Commerce concerning imports of N-Cyclohexylbenzothiazole-2-Sulfenamide (CBS) from the People's Republic of China. The investigation aims to determine whether imports of CBS benefit from countervailable subsidies conferred by the Chinese government, which may be causing material injury to the domestic industry producing CBS in the United States. The scope includes CBS in various forms such as off-white or light gray powder, oiled powder, or granules, with a concentration typically between 94 to 99 percent. The investigation covers a period of January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2025, and involves examination of 32 alleged subsidy programs.
