Pure Magnesium From the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results of the 2008-2009 Antidumping Duty Administrative Review

Résumé

In response to requests from interested parties, the Department of Commerce ("the Department") is conducting an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on pure magnesium from the People's Republic of China ("PRC"), covering the period May 1, 2008, through April 30, 2009. We have preliminarily determined that the respondent in this administrative review has made sales in the United States at prices below normal value during the period of review ("POR"). We have also preliminarily determined that two companies for which a review was requested have not been responsive and, thus, have not demonstrated entitlement to a separate rate. As a result, we have preliminarily determined that they are part of the PRC-Wide Entity and have assigned them the PRC-Wide Entity rate. If these preliminary results are adopted in the final results of review, we will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection ("CBP") to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. We invite interested parties to comment on these preliminary results. Parties who submit comments are requested to submit with each argument a summary of the argument. We intend to issue the final results no later than 120 d
