International Trade Administration officials state that the October 25, 2011 antidumping duty final results notice on folding tables and chairs from China (A-570-868), that revoked the order for New-Tec Integration (Xiamen) Co., Ltd., failed to specify that the revocation was only for New-Tec as both "producer and exporter". Instead, the notice mistakenly said that the order was revoked for one exporter, New-Tec.
