Search Primer

Term list: Separate terms with spaces, not commas or semicolons.

Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match (e.g. "China import").

Acronyms: Use all capital letters to ensure the search is not looking for that letter sequence instead.

Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., +CBP).

Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., -ruling).

Singular form: Always use the singular form when doing multi-word terms (e.g. "russian export control" instead of "russian export controls").

Shortest word form: When you have different word forms in a quoted (multi-word) term, you want to only include the shortest version if it is the last part of the expression (e.g., "entity list" instead of "entity listing" or "entity listed").

China Innerspring Units: Prelim Results of AD Admin Review
September 14, 2012 by Brian Feito|AD/CV - Patent

The International Trade Administration issued the preliminary results of its administrative review of the antidumping duty order on uncovered innerspring units from China (A-570-928) for one company, Tai Wa Hong. The ITA preliminarily determined that Tai Wa Hong failed to cooperate in the review, and so assigned it an adverse facts available (AFA) rate of 234.51 percent. According to the ITA's issues and decision memo in the IAACCESS database, Tai Wa Hong is a Macau company that failed to respond to the ITA's questionnaires. Because the company is not in China for the ITA's purposes, it assigned the company its own AFA rate rather than the China-wide rate. These preliminary results are not in effect. The ITA may modify them in the final results of this review and change the estimated AD cash deposit rate for this company.
