Taiwan Brightening Agents: Prelim Results of AD Admin Review
The Commerce Department has published the preliminary results of the antidumping duty administrative review on stilbenic optical brightening agents from Taiwan (A-583-848). Commerce preliminarily calculated an AD rate of 1.04% for Teh Fong Min International Co., Ltd., also known as Teh Fong Ming International Co., Ltd. (TFM). Any changes to TFM's cash deposit rate would take effect on the publication date of the final results of this review. Once Commerce issues its final results, the agency will assess AD at importer-specific rates for entries of subject merchandise from TFM entered between May 1, 2022, and Nov. 26, 2022, it said.

Commerce revoked the AD order effective Nov. 27, 2022, accounting for the "abbreviated" period of review in this instance. Only entries of subject merchandise “prior to the effective date of revocation will continue to be subject to suspension of liquidation and AD deposit requirements,” the Federal Register notice said.
Commerce has ordered liquidation "as entered" at the cash deposit rate in effect at the time of entry for subject merchandise entered May 1, 2022, through Nov. 26, 2022, that was exported by companies that are not under review (i.e., all except TFM) (ADCVDWeb Message # 3233412).
(The review period is 05/01/22 - 11/26/22. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
