China and India HEDP: Commerce Ends AD Duties
The Commerce Department is ending antidumping duties on 1-hydroxyethylidene-1, 1-diphosphonic acid (HEDP) from China (A-570-934) and India (A-533-847), after domestic HEDP companies didn’t express an interest in keeping the duties in place. Effective for entries on or after April 28, 2014, Commerce will direct CBP to end suspension of liquidation and AD duty cash deposit requirements. Entries prior to that date will still be subject to duties.

In sunset reviews of antidumping and countervailing duty orders, which are required every five years, domestic companies must notify Commerce of their intent to participate. Otherwise, Commerce takes the lack of notification as a lack of interest in continuing AD/CV duties, and automatically revokes the AD or CV duty order. In this case, no domestic company filed a notice of participation by March 18, the applicable deadline in this case. Consequently, Commerce is revoking the AD duty orders on HEDP from China and India.
