Cotton Shop Towels from Pakistan; Preliminary Results of Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews

概要

The Department of Commerce (the Department) is conducting administrative reviews of the countervailing duty order on cotton shop towels from Pakistan. For administrative convenience, the Department is combining the reviews covering the periods January 1, 1992 through December 31, 1992 (1992) and January 1, 1993 through December 31, 1993 (1993). We preliminarily determine the net subsidy to be 7.81 percent ad valorem for all companies for 1992. For 1993, we preliminarily determine the net subsidy to be 11.50 percent ad valorem for Eastern Textiles (Eastern), 11.54 percent ad valorem for Creation (Pvt.), Ltd. (Creation), and 5.02 percent ad valorem for all other companies. If the final results remain the same as these preliminary results of administrative reviews, we will instruct the U.S. Customs Service to assess countervailing duties as indicated above. Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results.
