Purified Carboxymethylcellulose From
the Netherlands: Preliminary Results
of Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review and Preliminary Intent To
Rescind
Import Administration,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: In response to requests from
petitioner Aqualon Company, a unit of
Hercules Incorporated and a U.S.
manufacturer of purified
carboxymethylcellulose, and Akzo
Nobel Functional Chemicals B.V. (Akzo
Nobel), the Department of Commerce
(the Department) is conducting an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on purified
carboxymethylcellulose (purified CMC)
from the Netherlands. This
administrative review covers imports of
subject merchandise produced and
exported by Akzo Nobel and exported
by CP Kelco B.V. (CP Kelco) during the
period of review of July 1, 2010, through
June 30, 2011.
We preliminarily determine that sales
of subject merchandise by Akzo Nobel
were not made at less than normal value
during the period of review and CP
Kelco had no shipments of subject
merchandise during the period of
review. If these preliminary results are
adopted in our final results of
administrative review, we will issue
appropriate assessment instructions to
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP). Interested parties are invited to
comment on these preliminary results.
Parties who submit argument in this
review are requested to submit with the
