Taiwan Stilbenic Brightening Agents: Final Results of AD Admin Review

The Commerce Department issued the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on stilbenic optical brightening agents from Taiwan (A-543-848) (here). Commerce determined the only company under review, Teh Fong Ming International Co., Ltd. (TFM), did not undersell subject merchandise during the period of review, assigning the company a zero percent AD duty rate. Subject merchandise from TFM entered between May 1, 2013 and April 30, 2014 will be liquidated without any assessment of AD duties, and future entries of subject merchandise exported by TFM will not be subject to AD duty cash deposit requirements until further notice. These final results take effect Oct. 13.

For exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all except TFM), cash deposit rates remain at the level set in the most recent review of each respective company. For companies that have never been assigned a cash deposit rate by Commerce, the all others rate of 6.19% applies.
