Russia Ammonium Nitrate: Uralchem's Fertilizer Subject to AD Duties

Uralchem’s NS 30:7 fertilizer is subject to antidumping duties under the order on ammonium nitrate from Russia (A-821-811), said the Commerce Department Aug. 6 in a final scope ruling. Uralchem argued the fertilizer is not an ammonium nitrate product, citing testimony and other evidence it gave Commerce. But Commerce said the “(k)(1)” factors like the petition, records the investigation, and prior scope determinations were enough to find the fertilizer in scope, so examination of any other factors like Uralchem’s evidence would have gone against its regulations.
