Court Decision Not in Harmony With

Antidumping Duty Investigation;
Notice of Amended Final
Determination; Notice of Amended
Antidumping Duty Order
Enforcement and Compliance,

AGENCY:
On December 17, 2024, the
U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT)
issued its final judgment in Ad Hoc
Coalition of American SAP Producers v.
United States, Court No. 23–00010,
sustaining the U.S. Department of
Commerce’s (Commerce) final remand
redetermination pertaining to the lessthan-fair-value (LTFV) investigation of
certain superabsorbent polymers (SAP)
from the Republic of Korea (Korea)
covering the period of investigation
October 1, 2020, through September 30,
2021. Commerce is notifying the public
that the CIT’s final judgment is not in
harmony with Commerce’s final
determination in that investigation, and
that Commerce is amending the final
determination and the resulting
antidumping duty (AD) order with
respect to the dumping margins
assigned to LG Chem, Ltd. (LGC) and all
other producers and exporters of subject
merchandise.

DATES:
Applicable December 27, 2024.

Background
On October 27, 2022, Commerce
published its Final Determination in the
LTFV investigation of SAP from Korea.1
In its Final Determination, Commerce
revised the model match hierarchy of
the physical characteristics of the
subject merchandise to use LGC’s
proposed centrifugal retention capacity
(CRC) characteristic reporting of 4 g/g
increments, and to include LGC’s
proposed two additional characteristics
(absorbency under pressure (AUP) and
permeability (PERM)) based on its
finding that the alternative CRC
increments and inclusion of AUP and
PERM were commercially significant.2
Commerce subsequently published the
AD order on SAP from Korea.3
The Ad Hoc Coalition of American
SAP Producers (Coalition) appealed
Commerce’s Final Determination. On
March 1, 2024, the CIT remanded the
Final Determination to Commerce to: (1)
reconsider or further explain the
commercial significance of the
characteristics adopted into Commerce’s
model match hierarchy when compared
to those adopted in the preliminary
determination, in particular narrower 4
g/g ranges for CRC, as well as AUP and
PERM, which the CIT held to be
unsupported by substantial evidence in
the final determination; (2) further
explain whether and to what extent
Commerce verified the alternative sales
and cost information upon which it
relied in the final determination; and (3)
address the Coalition’s concern that
LGC’s defined characteristics created a
possibility of manipulation, which
could result in a distorted dumping
margin.4
In its final remand redetermination,
issued in June 2024, Commerce
determined that there is no additional
information on the record that would
support the finding that narrower 4 g/
g ranges for CRC and the inclusion of
AUP and PERM are commercially
significant and should be included in
the model match hierarchy.5 As a result,
Commerce revised the model match
