The International Trade Administration issued an affirmative preliminary determination that glycine processed by two Indian companies, Salvi Chemical Industries Limited and AICO Laboratories India Ltd., and exported to the U.S. is circumventing the antidumping duty order on glycine from China (A-570-836). The ITA also said the Indian company Paras Intermediates Pvt. Ltd. is not circumventing the order because it is producing glycine from raw materials of Indian origin and exporting such merchandise to the U.S. As a result of the comments made by the parties in the circumvention inquiry with respect to substantial transformation and country of origin, and as a result of its affirmative circumvention findings in light of prior scope determinations, the ITA is initiating a scope inquiry of Chinese-origin glycine processed into a purer grade glycine in India.
