(See ITT's Online Archives or 05/12/05 news, 05051215 for BP summary of the ITA's self-initiation of this changed circumstances review in order to consider information contained in a recent Federal court decision, Goss International1, where evidence was presented demonstrating that Tokyo Kikai Seisakusho, Ltd. (TKS) intentionally provided false information regarding its sale, which was the subject of the ITA's 1997-1998 administrative review.)
The ITA states that it has preliminarily determined that it is appropriate to take the following course of action in order to protect the integrity of the ITA's proceedings: (1) revise TKS' margin for the 1997-1998 review to apply a rate of 59.67% based on adverse facts available; (2) rescind the revocation of the AD duty order for TKS because TKS no longer qualifies for revocation based on three consecutive administrative reviews resulting in zero dumping margins; and (3) reconsider the revocation of the order under the sunset review provision of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended.
According to the ITA, if these preliminary results are confirmed in the final results, the ITA will revise TKS' margin for the 1997-1998 review, rescind the revocation of AD duty order for TKS, and initiate a new sunset review to reconsider the revocation of this order.
