This review is being conducted to determine whether Marsan Gida Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. is the successor-in-interest to Gidasa Sabanci Gida Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S., and therefore whether Marsan is entitled to Gidasa's current CV duty rate of zero.
ITA to Request Additional Info from Marsan to Determine CV Successorship
The ITA states that in the context of a changed circumstances review of an antidumping order based on a name change or a change in the company's ownership or structure, it relies on its "successor-in-interest" analysis; however, the AD successor-in-interest test may not fully address whether it is appropriate to apply the CV duty cash deposit rate of a previously examined company to its claimed successor.
In this changed circumstances review, the ITA does not intend to apply the AD successor-in-interest methodology to determine whether Marsan is the successor-in-interest to Gidasa. The ITA anticipates requesting additional information for this review and will publish a notice of the preliminary results of the CV duty changed circumstances review.
The current requirement for a cash deposit of estimated CV duties on all subject merchandise will continue unless and until it is modified pursuant to the final results of this CV duty changed circumstances review. The ITA will issue the final results not later than 270 days after January 16, 2009.
(See ITA notice for more information, including the scope of the CV order, etc.
