Orders Revoked due to ITC Negative Injury Determination Under Sunset Review

Suspension of Liquidation/Cash Deposits Terminated Effective July 11, 2010

ITA to Complete Pending Admin Reviews
Entries of subject merchandise prior to the effective date of revocation will continue to be subject to suspension of liquidation and AD duty cash deposit requirements. The ITA will complete any pending administrative reviews of these orders.
1The merchandise subject to these orders is all purified CMC, sometimes also referred to as purified sodium CMC, polyanionic cellulose, or cellulose gum, which is a white to off-white, non-toxic, odorless, biodegradable powder, comprising sodium CMC that has been refined and purified to a minimum assay of 90 percent.
