The International Trade Administration issued the preliminary results of its antidumping administrative review on polyester stable fiber from Taiwan (A-583-833) for Far Eastern New Century Corporation (FENC) and Nan Ya Plastics Corporation. The ITA calculated a preliminary zero AD rate for FENC. It also preliminarily found Nan Ya had no shipments of subject merchandise to the U.S. during the period of review. If the ITA continues to find a zero AD rate for FENC in the final results, it will instruct CBP to liquidate entries of FENC's subject merchandise during the period of review without regard to AD duties. 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 these companies.
The International Trade Administration issued the final results of its antidumping duty administrative review of uncovered innerspring units from China (A-570-928). The ITA continued to find Tai Wa Hong of Macau did not cooperate in the review, and assigned it a final AD rate of 234.51 percent on the basis of adverse facts available. In a change from its preliminary results, the ITA determined that Tai Wa Hong is affiliated with Tai Wa Commercial and Macau Commercial, so all three countries will be subject to the same AD rate. This rate is effective March 22, and will be implemented by CBP soon.
