概要

In response to requests from interested parties, the Department of Commerce (the Department) is conducting an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on fresh garlic from the People's Republic of China (PRC). The period of review for this administrative review is November 1, 2002, through October 31, 2003. Three companies named in the initiation of this review made no exports or sales of the subject merchandise during the period of review and, consequently, we are rescinding the review for these companies. In addition, we are rescinding our review of a fourth company because the petitioners withdrew their request for a review of that company. We are also rescinding our review of a fifth company because its sale to the United States is not eligible for review. Therefore, this review covers twelve manufacturers/exporters of the subject merchandise. We preliminarily determine that nine of these companies have made sales in the United States at prices below normal value. Further, we preliminarily determine that the remaining three companies are not entitled to separate rates and have assigned them the rate for the PRC- wide entity. We invite interested parties to comment on
