China Polyester Staple Fiber: Prelim Results of AD Admin Review
The International Trade Administration issued the preliminary results of its administrative review of the antidumping duty order on polyester staple fiber from China (A-570-943) for two companies. One of the companies, Far Eastern1, did not cooperate with the ITA's requests for participation, and was therefore assigned the China-wide rate, the ITA said. Furthermore, due to Far Eastern's lack of cooperation, the ITA assigned the China-wide rate on the basis of Adverse Facts Available, it said. 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.
