Manganese Metal from the People's Republic of China; Preliminary Results and Partial Rescission of Antidumping Administrative Review

요약

We have preliminarily determined that sales by China Metallurgical Import & Export Hunan Corporation/Hunan Nonferrous Metals Import & Export Associated Corporation have been made below normal value during the period of review of February 1, 1998, through January 31, 1999. China Hunan International Economic Development (Group) Corporation did not respond to our questionnaire and has been assigned a dumping margin based on adverse facts available. If these preliminary results are adopted in our final results of review, we will instruct the U.S. Customs Service to assess antidumping duties based on the difference between the export price and normal value on all appropriate entries. We have also determined that the review of China National Electronics Import & Export Hunan Company and Minmetals Precious & Rare Minerals Import & Export Corporation should be rescinded. Furthermore, neither Shieldalloy Metallurgical Corporation nor London & Scandinavian Metallurgical Co., Limited, subsidiaries of Metallurg, Inc., submitted a timely request for review. Therefore, sales by these companies have not been reviewed. We invite interested parties to comment on these preliminary results.
