Chrome-Plated Lug Nuts From Taiwan; Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Termination in Part

Résumé

In response to a request by the petitioner, the Department of Commerce is conducting an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on chrome-plated lug nuts from Taiwan. The review covers 18 manufacturers/exporters of the subject merchandise to the United States for the period September 1, 1996, through August 31, 1997. The review indicates the existence of margins for all firms. We have preliminarily determined that sales have been made below normal value (``NV''). If these preliminary results are adopted in our final results of administrative review, we will instruct U.S. Customs to assess antidumping duties equal to the difference between export price and the NV. Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results. Parties who submit comments are requested to submit with each comment (1) a statement of the issue and (2) a brief summary of their comment.
