The ITA finds that the sole participating respondent in this review, Tianjin Magnesium International Co., Ltd., sold subject merchandise at less than normal value during the period of review, April 1, 2008 through March 31, 2009.

Final Results of Review

The ITA has determined the weighted-average dumping margin for TMI for the period April 1, 2008, through March 31, 2009, to be 0.00 percent.

Estimated AD Cash Deposits Requirements

The following estimated AD duty deposit requirements are effective for all shipments of magnesium metal from China with a time of entry on or after October 25, 2010:

  1. For TMI, the cash deposit rate will be 0.00 percent, as listed above;
  2. For previously investigated or reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters not listed above that have separate rates, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the exporter-specific rate published for the most recent period;
  3. For all PRC exporters of subject merchandise which have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the PRC-wide rate of 141.49 percent; and
  4. For all non-PRC exporters of subject merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the PRC exporters that supplied that non-PRC exporter.

The deposit requirements shall remain in effect until further notice.

Assessment Instructions

The ITA will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection shall assess, AD duties on all appropriate entries. The ITA intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after October 25, 2010. The ITA has calculated importer (or customer)-specific ad valorem duty assessment rates.
