Silicon Metal from the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results and Preliminary Rescission, in Part, of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review

Zusammenfassung

In response to requests from interested parties, the Department of Commerce ("Department") is conducting an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on silicon metal from the People's Republic of China ("PRC"). The period of review ("POR") is June 1, 2008, through May 31, 2009. This administrative review covers one mandatory respondent and two respondents that claim they did not ship or sell subject merchandise to the United States during the POR. We found no margin for the U.S. sales subject to this administrative review. If these preliminary results are adopted in our final results of review, we will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Patrol ("CBP") to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties. We invite interested parties to comment on these preliminary results. Parties who submit comments are requested to submit with each argument a statement of the issue and a brief summary of the argument. We intend to issue the final results of this review no later than 120 days from the date of publication of this notice.
