China Xanthan Gum: AD New Shipper Review Begins for Wuxi Yushea

The Commerce Department is beginning an antidumping duty new shipper review on xanthan gum from China (A-570-985) at the request of the Meihua, which includes Meihua Group International Trading (Hong Kong Limited, Langfang Meihua Bio-Technology Co., Ltd., and Xinjiang Meihua Amino Acid Co., Ltd. The new shipper review will cover subject merchandise produced by Meihua Amino Acid and exported by Meihua Group. Commerce will determine if Meihua is independent from state control, and therefore eligible for an estimated AD cash deposit rate other than the high 154.07% China-wide entity rate it would currently receive.
