Russia Urea: Prelim Results of AD Admin Review

The Commerce Department issued the preliminary results of its antidumping duty administrative review on solid urea from Russia (A-821-801). The agency preliminarily calculated a zero-percent AD rate for MCC EuroChem. If the agency's finding is continued in the final results, importers of solid urea from EuroChem entered between July 2012 and June 2013 will not be assessed AD duties, and future entries from EuroChem will not be subject to an AD cash deposit requirement until further notice.

These preliminary results do not change current AD duty rates, and Commerce can modify them in the final results of this review. For now, the most recent final AD rate calculated for each Russian company is still applicable. If no final AD duty rate has ever been calculated for a company, then it is subject to the all others rate of 64.93%. The final results of this administrative review are currently due in November.

(The period of review is 07/01/12 -- 06/30/13. See notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, the all others rate of 64.93%, etc.)
