The ITA states that in accordance with 19 CFR 351.210(b), because the preliminary determination in this AD duty investigation was affirmative, the respondent accounts for a significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise, and no compelling reasons for denial exist, it is granting the respondent's request to postpone the final AD duty determination.
The ITA adds that it is also extending provisional measures (suspension of liquidation and preliminary AD bond/cash deposit requirements) to not more than six months.
ITA sources state that the new due date is March 14, 2004. ITA sources also confirm that in the preliminary determination, ITA had announced this same postponement for Indonesia, as well as India and Thailand.
