Austria Strontium Chromate: AD Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect

Suspension of liquidation and antidumping duty cash deposit requirements will take effect June 18 for imports of strontium chromate from Austria (A-433-813), after a correction to the Commerce Department's preliminary determination caused rates to increase above zero for Austrian exporters. Commerce had found no dumping in its May 17 negative preliminary determination, but the amended preliminary determination causes rates for Austrian exporters to rise above the de minimis threshold for AD duty investigations.

Commerce has also imposed AD duty cash deposit requirements on strontium chromate from France, in an affirmative preliminary determination also issued May 17. No changes are being made to AD duties on France at this time.
