Granular Polytetrafluoroethylene Resin from Italy and Japan; Five-year (“Sunset”) Reviews of Antidumping Duty Orders; Final Results
On December 1, 2004, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') initiated a sunset review of the antidumping duty orders on Granular Polytetrafluoroethylene Resin (``PTFE Resin'') from Italy and Japan, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, (``the Act'').

Based on Dubao's non-cooperation after the Preliminary Results, we have applied total adverse facts available to all of Dubao's sales during the POR. Therefore, the final results differ from the Preliminary Results. See ``Final Results of Review'' section below
