The ITA is initiating this review to determine whether Hebei Husqvarna-Jikai Diamond Tools Co., Ltd. is the successor-in-interest to (1) Hebei Jikai Industrial Group Co., Ltd. or (2) Electrolux Construction Products (Xiamen) Co., Ltd. (Electrolux Xiamen).

ITA to Assign Either 48.50% or 164.09% AD Rate if Successor-in-Interest

In November 2009, the ITA published an AD duty order on diamond sawblades and parts thereof from China, and assigned Hebei Jikai an estimated AD duty rate of 48.50%, and assigned Electrolux Xiamen the China-wide entity rate of 164.09%.

Therefore, if the record demonstrates that, with respect to the production and sale of the subject merchandise, Hebei Husqvarna-Jikai operates as the same business entity as Hebei Jikai, the ITA will assign it a rate of 48.50%.

If the ITA determines that Hebei Husqvarna-Jikai operates as the same business entity as Electrolux Xiamen, the ITA will assign it the China-wide entity rate of 164.09%.

The ITA will issue the final results of this AD duty changed circumstances review no later than 270 days after September 24, 2010 (the date of initiation).

(See ITA notice for more information, including the scope of the order, etc.

See ITT’s Online Archives or 11/04/09 news, 09110450, for BP summary of the ITA’s issuance of the subject AD duty order.)
