Persulfates From the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results of the 2009-2010 Antidumping Duty Administrative Review

Resumo

In response to a request from an interested party, the Department of Commerce ("the Department") is conducting an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on persulfates from the People's Republic of China ("PRC") covering the period July 1, 2009, through June 30, 2010. This administrative review covers one producer/exporter of the subject merchandise, i.e., United Initiators (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. ("United Initiators"). We preliminarily determine that United Initiators does not qualify for a separate rate because it did not respond to the Department's request for information; thus, as adverse facts available, we are assigning to United Initiators, as part of the PRC-wide entity, the PRC-wide rate. If these preliminary results are adopted in our final results of this review, we will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection ("CBP") to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise exported by United Initiators during the period of review ("POR"). We invite interested parties to comment on these preliminary results.
