Defendants face fines and jail for illegally importing and distributing trichloroisocyanuric acid
Three people in the US have been indicted for their part in a multi-million-dollar scheme to illegally import and distribute trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA) from China.
TCCA is commonly used as a source of chlorine to sanitise swimming pool water. The US Department of Justice has charged the men with 26 counts of smuggling and fraud, claiming that customers bought more than $3.2 million (£2.4 million) worth of their product between late June 2021 and November 2022.
