The final determination in the antidumping and countervailing duty investigations on hardwood plywood from China (A-570-986 / C-570-987) are due Sept. 16, said the Commerce Department in a correction to a June 3 correction of its preliminary determination. The June 3 notice errantly said the agency was extending the deadline by 50 days, when it is actually extending it by the maximum of 60 days.

The Commerce Department issued the preliminary results of its antidumping duty administrative review on stainless steel plate in coils from Belgium (A-423-808). The agency used an alternative average-to-transaction methodology to compare Aperam Stainless Belgium's home sales to its U.S. sales, which may have barely pushed the company's preliminary AD rate above the 0.5 percent de minimis threshold. These preliminary results are not in effect. Commerce may modify them in the final results of this review and change the estimated AD cash deposit rate for this company.

The Commerce Department issued the preliminary results of its antidumping duty administrative review on pure magnesium from China (A-570-832). The agency determined an AD rate for Tianjin Magnesium Metal (TMM), and found that the company is affiliated with another company, referred to as "company A" in the preliminary results, whose identity is currently confidential. Commerce told TMM that, because of its finding that the two companies are affiliated, TMM now has to disclose the identity of company A. If TMM doesn't do so, Commerce will assign it a rate based on adverse facts available, it said. These preliminary results are not in effect. Commerce may modify them in the final results of this review and change the estimated AD cash deposit rate for this company.

The Commerce Department issued the preliminary results of its countervailing duty administrative review on citric acid and certain citrate salts from China (C-570-938) for the RZBC companies. These CV rates are not in effect. Commerce may modify them in the final results of this review and change the estimated CV cash deposit rates for these company.

The International Trade Administration issued the preliminary results of its antidumping duty administrative review on citric acid and certain citrate salts from China (A-570-937). The agency calculated a preliminary zero AD rate for RZBC Imp. & Exp. Co., Ltd., and said Yixing Union Biolchemical, the only other respondent, had no reviewable shipments. If Commerce continues to find a zero AD rate for RZBC in the final results, it will instruct CBP to liquidate entries of the company's subject merchandise during the period of review without regard to AD duties. These preliminary results are not in effect. Commerce may modify them in the final results of this review and change the estimated AD cash deposit rate for these companies.

The Commerce Department issued the preliminary results of its antidumping duty administrative review on aluminum extrusions from China (A-570-967). The agency found a zero AD rate for Kromet International. If continued in the final results, entries from Kromet will be liquidated without regard to AD duties, and its merchandise will not be subject to an AD cash deposit requirement until further notice. These preliminary results are not in effect. Commerce may modify them in the final results of this review and change the estimated AD cash deposit rate for these companies.

The antidumping investigations on prestressed concrete steel rail tie wire from China, Mexico, and Thailand will continue, after the International Trade Commission voted June 7 that imports of the product are probably injuring U.S. industry. The preliminary injury determination was unanimous. The Commerce Department initiated its part of the investigations May 13, based on a petition from two U.S. companies (see 13051718). A fact sheet released in conjunction with the initiation said the petition alleged AD rates of 67.43 percent for Chinese exporters, 159.44 percent for Mexican exporters, and 53.72 percent for Thai companies (see 13051430).
