Russia Ammonium Nitrate: Final Results of AD Admin Review
The Commerce Department issued the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on solid fertilizer grade ammonium nitrate from Russia (A-821-811) (here). Commerce determined the two companies under review, JSC Acron (and affiliate JSC Dorogobuzh) and MCC EuroChem (and affiliates OJSC NAK Azot and OJSC Nevinnomyssky Azot), did not undersell subject merchandise during the period of review, assigning both companies zero percent AD duty rates. Subject merchandise from Acron and EuroChem entered between April 1, 2012 and March 31, 2013 will be liquidated without any assessment of AD duties, and future entries of ammonium nitrate exported from Russia by Acron and EuroChem will not be subject to AD duty cash deposit requirements until further notice. Changes to cash deposit rates from these final results take effect Nov. 24.
