ITA Now Finds Critical Circumstances for DP-Master, Sep Rate Respondents
Based upon its analysis of comments and allegations of ministerial errors, the ITA has now made an affirmative determination that critical circumstances exist for mandatory respondent DP-Master Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and Jiangyin Liangda Drill Pipe Co., Ltd. (collectively, the DP-Master Group), as well as for the separate rate respondents.
(The ITA is not amending its negative critical circumstances determination with respect to Baoshan Iron & Steel Co., Ltd. as its final AD duty rate remains de minimis.)
Suspension of Liquidation for DP-Master, Sep Rate Respondents Now Effective May 20, 2010
