Fresh Garlic From the People's Republic of China; Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Partial Termination of Administrative Review

摘要

In response to a request by the petitioner, the Fresh Garlic Producers Association and its individual members, 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 (POR) is July 11, 1994, through October 31, 1995. The petitioner's request covered 159 producers/ exporters of subject merchandise. Only one company, Top Pearl Ltd. (Top Pearl), a Hong Kong company, along with its U.S. importer of record, Merex Corporation, requested a review of its sales and has responded to our questionnaire. Because we have determined that (1) the review of Top Pearl should be terminated, and (2) the other PRC producers/ exporters failed to submit responses to our questionnaires, we have preliminarily determined to use facts otherwise available for cash deposit and assessment purposes for all PRC producers/exporters of the subject merchandise. Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results. Parties who submit comments are requested to submit with each argument (1) a statement of the issue and (2) a brief summary of the argument.
