China Diamond Sawblades: Commerce Set to Recognize Husqvarna Hebei Successor

The Commerce Department preliminarily found that Husqvarna (Hebei) Co. is the successor to Hebei Husqvarna Jikai Diamond Tools Co., for the purposes of its antidumping duty order on diamond sawblades from China (A-570-900). The company only underwent a name change, the agency said. If this preliminary finding is confirmed in the final results of this changed circumstances review, subject merchandise exported by Husqvarna (Hebei) will be entitled to Hebei Husqvarna Jikai’s current AD cash deposit rate of 8.1 percent (see 13061421).
