South Korea Superabsorbent Polymers: Prelim Results of AD Admin Review
The Commerce Department has released the preliminary results of its antidumping duty administrative review on superabsorbent polymers from South Korea (A-580-914). The agency preliminarily calculated a zero percent AD rate for LG Chem, Ltd., the only company under review. If the agency's finding is continued in the final results, importers of subject merchandise from LG Chem entered between June 7, 2022, and Nov. 30, 2023, won't be assessed AD, and no cash deposits would be required on merchandise from LG Chem beginning on the date the final results are published in the Federal Register.

Commerce has ordered liquidation “as entered” at the cash deposit rate in effect at the time of entry for subject merchandise from exporters for which a review was not requested, i.e., all but LG Chem, in a message sent to CBP (ADCVDWeb Message # 4079413).
These preliminary results do not change current AD rates, and Commerce can modify them in the final results of this review. For now, the most recent final AD rate calculated for each South Korean company with respect to subject merchandise is still applicable. If no final AD rate has ever been calculated for a company, then it is subject to the all-others rate of 26.05%. The final results of this administrative review are currently due in August.
(The period of review is 06/07/22 - 11/30/23. See notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
