ITA Postpones AD Preliminary Determination to December 28th
The ITA states that one of the respondents has submitted a novel reporting methodology for its U.S. sales, and it may require additional information from the respondent in order to obtain complete and appropriate data on the record to calculate an accurate dumping margin with respect to the respondent's U.S. sales.
The ITA can only complete its analysis and gather all of the necessary information by postponing the preliminary determination. Therefore, the ITA is postponing the preliminary determination by 50 days to no later than December 28, 2009.
The deadline for the final determination will continue to be 75 days after the date of the preliminary determination, unless extended.
