U.S. launches antidumping probe over Chinese calcium hypochlorite
The U.S. Commerce Department said on Wednesday it has launched antidumping duty (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) investigations into imported calcium hypochlorite from China.
Calcium hypochlorite is an ingredient in bleaching powder, widely used for the disinfection of drinking water or swimming pool water.
The investigations are in response to a petition filed by Arch Chemicals based in Georgia, the department said in a statement.
