Gray Portland Cement and Clinker From Japan; Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review

요약

In response to a request from the Ad Hoc Committee of Southern California Producers of Gray Portland Cement (the petitioner) and Onoda Cement Company, Ltd. (the respondent), the Department of Commerce (the Department) is conducting an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on gray portland cement and clinker from Japan. The review covers one manufacturer/exporter, Onoda Cement Co., Ltd. (Onoda), and the period May 1, 1993, through April 30, 1994 (POR). The review indicates the existence of dumping margins during this period. We have preliminarily determined that sales have been made below the foreign market value (FMV). If these preliminary results are adopted in our final results of administrative review, we will instruct the U.S. Customs Service (Customs) to assess antidumping duties equal to the difference between the United States price (USP) and FMV. Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results.
