United States International Trade Commission (ITC) determined that there is a reasonable indication that a US industry is materially injured or threatened with material injury by reason of imports of certain polyester staple fiber from China that are allegedly sold in the United States at less than fair value.
All six Commissioners voted in the affirmative.
As a result of the Commission's affirmative determination, the US Department of Commerce will continue to conduct its antidumping investigation of imports of certain polyester staple fiber from China, with its preliminary determination due on or about November 30, 2006.
The Commission's public report Certain Polyester Staple Fiber from China (Investigation No. 731-TA-1104 (Preliminary), USITC Publication 3878, August 2006) will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigation.
Copies of the report are expected to be available after September 6, 2006, by calling 202-205- 1809 or from the Office of the Secretary, 500 E Street SW, Washington, DC 20436. Requests may also be faxed to 202-205-2104.
