industries. In addition, pure primary
magnesium is used as an input in
producing magnesium alloy. Pure
primary magnesium encompasses
products (including, but not limited to,
butt–ends, stubs, crowns and crystals)
with the following primary magnesium
contents: (1) Products that contain at
least 99.95 percent primary magnesium,
by weight (generally referred to as
‘‘ultra–pure’’ magnesium); (2) Products
that contain less than 99.95 percent but
not less than 99.8 percent primary
magnesium, by weight (generally
referred to as ‘‘pure’’ magnesium); and
(3) Products (generally referred to as
‘‘off–specification pure’’ magnesium)
that contain 50 percent or greater, but
less than 99.8 percent primary
magnesium, by weight, and that do not
conform to ASTM specifications for
alloy magnesium. ‘‘Off–specification
pure’’ magnesium is pure primary
magnesium containing magnesium
scrap, secondary magnesium, oxidized
magnesium or impurities (whether or
not intentionally added) that cause the
primary magnesium content to fall
below 99.8 percent by weight. It
generally does not contain, individually
or in combination, 1.5 percent or more,
by weight, of the following alloying
elements: aluminum, manganese, zinc,
silicon, thorium, zirconium and rare
earths.
Since the antidumping duty order was
issued, we have clarified that the scope
of the original order includes, but is not
limited to, butt ends, stubs, crowns and
crystals. See May 22, 1997, instructions
to U.S. Customs and November 14,
1997, Final Scope Ruling of
Antidumping Duty Order on Pure
Magnesium from China.
Excluded from the scope of this order
are alloy primary magnesium (that
meets specifications for alloy
magnesium), primary magnesium
anodes, granular primary magnesium
(including turnings, chips and powder),
having a maximum physical dimension
(i.e., length or diameter) of one inch or
less, secondary magnesium (which has
pure primary magnesium content of less
than 50 percent by weight), and
remelted magnesium whose pure
primary magnesium content is less than
50 percent by weight. Pure magnesium
products covered by this order are
currently classifiable under the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (‘‘HTSUS’’) subheadings
8104.11.00, 8104.19.00, 8104.20.00,
8104.30.00, 8104.90.00, 3824.90.11,

Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in this review are
addressed in the ‘‘Issues and Decision
Memorandum’’ (‘‘Decision Memo’’)
from Stephen J. Claeys, Deputy
Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration, to Joseph A. Spetrini,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration, dated December 29,
2005, which is hereby adopted by this
notice. The issues discussed in the
Decision Memo include the likelihood
of continuation or recurrence of
dumping and the magnitude of the
margins likely to prevail if the order
were revoked. Interested parties can
find a complete discussion of all issues
raised in this review and the
corresponding recommendations in this
public memorandum which is on file in

The paper copy and electronic version
of the Decision Memo are identical in
content.
Final Results of Review
We determine that revocation of the
antidumping duty order on pure
magnesium from China would be likely
to lead to continuation or recurrence of
dumping at the following weighted–
average percentage margin:

Exporters/Producers
Weighted Average
Margin (percent)

This notice also serves as the only
reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (‘‘APO’’)
of their responsibility concerning the
return or destruction of proprietary
information disclosed under APO in

Department’s regulations. Timely
notification of the return or destruction
of APO materials or conversion to
judicial protective order is hereby
requested. Failure to comply with the
regulations and terms of an APO is a
violation which is subject to sanction.
We are issuing and publishing these
results and notice in accordance with
sections 751(c), 752, and 777(i)(1) of the
Act.
