Taiwan Brightening Agents: Final Results of AD Admin Review

The Commerce Department has issued the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on stilbenic optical brightening agents from Taiwan (A-583-848), with a slightly lower AD rate than in the preliminary results. Commerce set an AD rate of 11.92% for Teh Fong Min International Co., Ltd. (TFM), the only company under review. Subject merchandise from TFM entered between May 1, 2020, and April 30, 2021, will be liquidated at importer-specific rates, Commerce said. The 11.92% AD cash deposit rate for TFM takes effect Aug. 23.

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. If the exporter has never been assigned its own AD rate but the manufacturer has, the rate assigned to the manufacturer applies. For merchandise manufactured and exported by companies that have never been assigned a cash deposit rate by Commerce, the all-others rate of 6.19% applies.

(The review period is 05/01/20 - 04/30/21. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 2204260075 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
