| Initiation of AD Duty Changed Circumstances Review |
The ITA further states that it will consider whether it should reinstate the AD duty order with respect to sebacic acid exported to the U.S. by Tianjin and produced by Hengshui.
(See ITT's Online Archives or 12/03/02 news, 02120350 for BP summary of the final results of the July 1, 2000 through June 30, 2001 AD duty administrative review of sebacic acid from China, which resulted in the revocation of the AD duty order for such merchandise exported by Tianjin and produced by Hengshui)
Affirmative Preliminary Results Will Result in Suspension of Liquidation
According to the ITA, if it preliminarily finds that Tianjin has resumed dumping sebacic acid produced by Hengshui, and thus should be reinstated in the existing AD duty order on sebacic acid from China, it will order U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to suspend liquidation of entries for all shipments of subject merchandise with a time of entry on or after the date of publication of the preliminary results of this AD duty changed circumstances review.
The ITA also states that it will issue its final results of this AD duty changed circumstances review within 270 days of June 25, 2004.
