China MSG: Final Results of AD Admin Review
The Commerce Department issued the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on monosodium glutamate from China (A-570-992). Commerce found all 27 exporters under review did not demonstrate independence from state control, assigning them the China-wide AD duty rate of 40.41%. Commerce will assess AD duties at this rate on subject merchandise exported by these 27 companies and entered between Nov. 1, 2015, and Oct. 31, 2016. A 40.41% AD duty cash deposit rate takes effect Dec. 8 for subject merchandise exported by each of these 27 companies.
