Austria Xanthan Gum: Prelim AD Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect
The International Trade Administration made a preliminary affirmative antidumping determination that xanthan gum from Austria (A-433-811) is being sold in the U.S. at less than fair value. The ITA found a preliminary AD rate of 17.18 percent, which is effective Jan. 10. CBP is expected to implement these AD cash deposit/bond requirements soon. Pursuant to the ITA's October 2011 final rule, no bond will be accepted in lieu of a cash deposit.
