The International Trade Administration initiated administrative reviews for certain firms subject to antidumping duty orders with October anniversary dates. The ITA intends to issue the final results of these reviews no later than Oct. 31, 2013.
The International Trade Administration issued the final results of the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on pure magnesium in granular form from China (A-570-864). The ITA found the sole reviewed company, China Minmetals Non-Ferrous Metals Co., to be part of the China-wide entity because it did not demonstrate eligibility for a separate rate. According to the preliminary results of this review, China Minmetals notified the ITA that it had no shipments during the period of review after the applicable deadline, and did not respond to any subsequent questionnaires. The new rate is effective Dec. 3, and will be implemented by CBP soon.

Pursuant a Court of International Trade remand in September, the International Trade Administration is amending the rates assigned to two companies in the countervailing duty order on multilayered wood flooring from China (C-570-971). The court had ruled that the ITA improperly assigned Eswell Enterprise and Elegant Living CV rates of 26.73 percent based on adverse facts available after the agency found the companies to be uncooperative in the CV duty investigation. The ITA should have considered evidence that it had identified the two companies by the wrong names, CIT said. The two companies were actually named Shanghai Eswell Timber and Baroque Timber Industries, respectively. After reconsideration, the ITA is assigning each company the 1.5 percent all others rate.
The International Trade Administration is ending the antidumping duty order on folding metal tables and chairs from China (A-570-868), because domestic industry declined to participate in a sunset review of the AD duty order. Revocation is effective Nov. 6, 2012. As such, the ITA will instruct CBP to terminate suspension of liquidation for all subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after Nov. 6.
