ITA Reinstates Order for Tianjin
The ITA has established that sebacic acid exported by Tianjin is being sold at less than normal value, and as a result states that Tianjin is reinstated in the AD duty order effective March 30, 2005.
The ITA has determined that the following weighted-average margin percentage exists for the period of July 1, 2002 through June 30, 2003:
| Company | AD Margin |
| Tianjin Chemicals Import and Export Corporation (Tianjin) | 26.33% |
According to the preliminary results of this AD duty changed circumstances review and the AD/CV query used by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the AD duty order was provisionally reinstated and a preliminary AD duty rate of 36.74% was established for sebacic acid exported by Tianjin and produced by Hengshui Dongfeng Chemical Co., Ltd (Hengshui) with a time of entry on or after November 26, 2004. CBP's AD/CV query also indicates that subject merchandise exported by Tianjin and produced by companies other than Hengshui with a time of entry on or after July 1, 2001 is subject to a rate of 243.4%.
The ITA's final results simply state that the order is reinstated for Tianjin. ITA sources indicate that the ITA is currently evaluating these discrepancies between the preliminary and final results.
