FACT
SHEET Initiation of Antidumping Duty Investigation on Imports of Liquid Sulfur
Dioxide from Canada On November 10, the Department of Commerce announced its decision to
initiate an antidumping duty investigation on
imports of
liquid sulfur dioxide from Canada. Next Steps: The International
Trade Commission (ITC) is scheduled to make its preliminary injury determination
on or about December 9. If the ITC determines that there is a reasonable
indication that imports from Canada are injuring or threatening material
injury to the domestic industry, the investigation will continue and the
Department will make its preliminary antidumping duty determination in
March 2006. If the ITC makes a negative preliminary injury determination,
the investigation will be terminated. Petitioners: The petition requesting
this investigation was filed by Calabrian Corporation of Texas. Product Description: The
merchandise covered by this investigation is technical or commercial grade
and refrigeration grade liquid sulfur dioxide of a minimum 99.98 percent
assay. Sulfur dioxide is identified by the chemical formula SO2.
The CAS No. for sulfur dioxide is 7446-09-5. Liquid sulfur dioxide is
pure sulfur dioxide gas compressed through refrigeration and stored under
pressure. Sulfur dioxide in its gaseous state is excluded from the petition. Liquid sulfur dioxide
subject to this investigation is currently classifiable under subheading
2811.23.00 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).
While the HTSUS subheading is provided for convenience and customs purposes,
the written description of the scope of this investigation is dispositive. Initiated Dumping Margin:
*as recalculated by the Department Case Calendar:
* These deadlines may be extended under the governing statute. ** This will take place only in the event of a final affirmative determination by the Department of Commerce. *** This will take place only in the event of final affirmative determinations by both the Department and the ITC.
