DOC Announces Final Antidumping Determinations on Carbazole Violet Pigment-23 From India and China
The U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) today announced the final determinations in the antidumping investigations involving Carbazole Violet Pigment-23 (CVP-23) from India and China. DOC found that producers/exporters of CVP-23 from India and China sold their products in the U.S. at less than fair value, with margins ranging from 27.23 to 69.23% for India, and 5.51 to 217.94% for China. In addition, DOC found that countervailable subsidies exist with regard to exports from India with net subsidy rates ranging from 17.33 to 33.61%.
The United States International Trade Commission (ITC) is scheduled to announce its final injury determinations in these antidumping investigations on or before December 23. If the ITC affirmatively determines that imports of CVP-23 are materially injuring, or threatening material injury to, the domestic industry, then the Department will issue antidumping and countervailing duty orders in January 2005. If the ITC makes negative injury determinations, the investigations will be terminated and no antidumping and countervailing duty orders will be issued.
The final antidumping margins announced by DOC were as follows:
Alpanil Industries = 27.23%
Pidilite Industries Ltd. = 69.23%
All Others = 45.98%
Trust Chem Co., Ltd. = 27.19%
GoldLink Industries Co., Ltd. = 5.51%
Nantong Haidi Chemical Co., Ltd. = 44.50%
PRC-Wide Rate = 217.94%
