China and Trinidad Melamine: Commerce Postpones Preliminary AD Duty Determinations

The Commerce Department is postponing until June 10 the due date for its preliminary determinations in the antidumping duty investigations on melamine from China and Trinidad and Tobago (A-570-020, A-274-806) (here). The U.S. melamine manufacturer that requested the investigation asked for the extension. Once Commerce makes its preliminary determination, it can suspend liquidation and require cash deposits of estimated AD duties. The preliminary determination was originally due April 21.
