The ITA will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to collect cash deposits or bonds based on the final AD duty rates below.
Final AD Rates Range from 36.54% to 95.81%
The ITA has found that producers/exporters from Taiwan have sold plastic bags in the U.S. at 36.54% to 95.81% less than fair value.
Two mandatory respondents, Ipsido Corporation and TCI Plastic Co., Ltd., will receive final AD duty rates of 95.81% and 36.54%, respectively. All other producer/exporters from Taiwan will receive a final AD duty rate of 36.54%.
ITC to Issue Final Injury Determination in May 2010
The International Trade Commission is scheduled to issue its final injury determination on or about May 3, 2010. If the ITC makes an affirmative determination that imports of plastic bags from Taiwan materially injure, or threaten material injury to, the domestic industry, the ITA will issue an AD duty order. If the ITC makes a negative injury determination, the investigation will be terminated.
