ITA Makes Preliminary Antidumping Determinations on Color Television Receivers from Malaysia and China
The Commerce Department's International Trade Administration (ITA) yesterday announced the preliminary determinations in the antidumping duty investigations on imports of certain color television receivers (CTVs) from Malaysia and the People's Republic of China (PRC). ITA preliminarily found that Malaysian producers/exporters have not sold CTVs in the U.S. market at less than fair value, calculating a de minimis margin for the sole respondent company, Funai Electric. ITA preliminarily found that Chinese producers/exporters have sold CTVs in the U.S. market at less than fair value, with margins ranging from 27.94 percent to 45.87 percent. The ITA's final determinations in these investigations is scheduled to be issued in April 2004. In the meantime, ITA case analysts will conduct a verification of the information in Malaysia and China to determine the accuracy of the information submitted by the companies in this investigation.
This antidumping case was brought by Five Rivers Electronic Innovations, LLC; International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers; and the Industrial Division of the Communications Workers of America.
