(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.)
ITA Provisionally Reinstates Order for Tianjin/Hengshui
The ITA states that as these are preliminary results, it may still come to a conclusion that Tianjin has not resumed dumping. However, since it has preliminarily established that subject merchandise produced by Hengshui and exported by Tianjin is being sold at less than normal value, the AD duty order is hereby provisionally reinstated.
The ITA states that it will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to suspend liquidation of all entries of subject merchandise exported by Tianjin and produced by Hengshui with a time of entry on or after November 26, 2004.
In addition, the ITA states that it will instruct CBP to require a cash deposit equal to the preliminary AD margin below, for entries of subject merchandise produced by Hengshui and exported by Tianjin that have a time of entry on or after November 26, 2004:
| Liquidation Suspended | Cash Deposit |
|---|---|
| Company | AD margin |
| Tianjin Chemicals Import and Export Corporation (Tianjin) as exporter and Hengshui Dongfeng Chemical Co., Ltd. (Hengshui) as producer | 36.74% |
The ITA states that it will complete this review by March 28, 2005, which is within 270 days of the June 25, 2004 initiation of these changed circumstances review.
(See ITA notice for more information, including the scope of the review, etc. See ITT's Online Archives or 07/13/04 news, 04071345, for BP summary of the initiation of this AD duty changed circumstances review.)
