ITC Votes for AD Duties on Xanthan Gum From China, But Not Austria; Refunds for All
The Commerce Department will issue an antidumping duty order on xanthan gum from China, but not Austria, after the International Trade Commission found injury to U.S. industry resulting from imports from the former, but not the latter. The ITC’s finding of no injury from imports of Austrian xanthan gum was unanimous. Likewise, all of the commissioners either voted that injury or the threat of injury was occurring to U.S. industry because of dumped Chinese xanthan gum imports. Because the majority of voters found only the threat of injury from dumped Chinese imports, the AD duty order for China will not apply to entries made before the order is issued.

The injury votes will result in refunds to importers of cash deposits for both countries. But while suspension of liquidation for Chinese imports will continue, and cash deposits will be collected on future entries at the rates set in the final determination (see 13060333), no such requirements will remain in place for imports from Austria. Despite Commerce finding dumping for Austria in its final determination (see 13060331), all antidumping duty proceedings for Austrian xanthan gum will now come to an end.
