Antidumping Duty Orders Revoked

(In its preliminary results notice, the ITA had stated its intent to revoke these AD duty orders because it had preliminarily determined that the continued relief provided by the orders with respect to INC from the countries at issue was no longer of interest to the sole U.S. producer of domestic like product.

The ITA explained, among other things, that Green Tree Chemical Technologies, Inc. the sole producer of domestic like product had ceased production. See ITT's Online Archives or 07/01/04 news, 04070150, for BP summary of the preliminary results.)

Entries On/After the Revocation Dates to be Liquidated With AD Refund & Interest

In accordance with 19 CFR 351.222, the ITA will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to terminate the suspension of liquidation and to liquidate, without regard to AD duties, all unliquidated entries of INC from (a) Brazil, China, Germany, Japan, South Korea, and United Kingdom with a time of entry on or after July 1, 2003, and (b) France with a time of entry on or after August 1, 2003.

The ITA will further instruct CBP to refund with interest any estimated duties collected with respect to unliquidated entries of INC from the above-listed countries on or after the applicable time of entry dates.

(See ITA notice for more information, including the scope of the order.)
