| Notice of Court of International Trade Decision |
(Polyplex's AD margin in the original investigation was 10.34% before it was adjusted for the export subsidies margin found in the companion CV investigation; the adjustment resulted in an AD margin of zero for Polyplex, and its exclusion from the AD order. (When a company is excluded from an AD order, liquidation is unaffected and there is no AD cash deposit requirement. See ITT's Online Archives or 07/02/02 news, 02070245 for BP summary of AD order and Polyplex's exclusion.)
Polyplex Now Subject to AD Duty Order
As a result of its remand determinations, the ITA states that it will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to suspend liquidation of, and require a cash deposit of zero percent for, entries of subject merchandise exported by Polyplex that have a time of entry on or after June 28, 2004.
(In its remand determinations, the ITA concluded that it is not permitted to amend a final AD determination to take into account a CV order issued subsequent to the AD final determination, and therefore should not have excluded Polyplex from the AD order.)
(See ITT's Online Archives or 07/02/02 news, 02070245, for initial BP summary of ITA notice on Court Decision.)
