Phosphorus pentachloride
HS 281214 — Phosphorus pentachloride — sits in Chapter 28 (Inorganic chemicals). Acids, alkalis, inorganic salts, and rare earth compounds. EU importers pay MFN duty plus import VAT at the border; origin-specific trade remedies (anti-dumping, countervailing, safeguards, US Section 301) can stack on top when applicable. Classification disputes are decided by the section + chapter legal notes shown below — these are legally binding interpretation rules, not advisory text. The duty table renders live rates from authoritative tariff sources (EU TARIC, HMRC XI, USITC HTS); cross-country rows compare treatment under five tariff schedules.

Tariff changes, sanctions, FTAs, and regulatory updates that touch this product class.
US delays chromium trioxide dumping decision on Türkiye shipments
The US Department of Commerce has postponed its final dumping determination on chromium trioxide imports from Türkiye to October 5, 2026, extending provisional anti-dumping measures from four to six months. This delays the imposition of final duties on affected shipments while the investigation continues.
EU releases indirect-emissions guidance for CBAM implementation
The European Commission has published a technical study on indirect emissions under the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), providing policy analysis to support CBAM implementation and evolution. This study addresses how embedded indirect emissions—such as electricity and steam used in production—are measured, reported, and credited within the CBAM framework, which covers cement, iron and steel, aluminium, fertilisers, hydrogen, and electricity. The guidance is intended to clarify compliance pathways for importers and EU producers as CBAM transitions from its current phase into full operational scope.
Chromium Trioxide from India & Turkey: Final Duty Phase
The U.S. International Trade Commission has scheduled the final phase of antidumping and countervailing duty investigations into chromium trioxide (HS 2819.10.00) from India and Turkey. The Department of Commerce has preliminarily determined that both countries are selling the product below fair value, and that India is providing subsidies. The final phase will determine whether U.S. industry has suffered material injury.
Spain chlorinated isocyanurates: no dumping found in 2023–24 review
The U.S. Department of Commerce has concluded its administrative review of chlorinated isocyanurates (pool chemicals) imported from Spain for the period June 1, 2023–May 31, 2024, finding no evidence of dumping. This means Spanish exporters of these products will not face additional antidumping duties for this review period, though the existing antidumping order remains in place.
US adds anti-dumping duties on chromium trioxide from India
The U.S. Department of Commerce has made a preliminary affirmative determination that chromium trioxide from India is being sold in the United States at less than fair value (LTFV), covering the period July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025. This triggers provisional measures and sets the stage for a final anti-dumping duty determination. Importers of chromium trioxide and downstream manufacturers relying on Indian suppliers should prepare for potential duties and adjust sourcing or pricing strategies accordingly.
