Department of Commerce (the
Department) published the preliminary
results of the antidumping duty
administrative review of persulfates
from the People\u2019s Republic of China (the
PRC). This review covers one exporter
of the subject merchandise, Shanghai AJ
Import & Export Corporation (Ai Jian).
The period of review is July 1, 2002,
through June 30, 2003. Based on our
analysis of the comments received, we
have made certain changes in the
margin calculations. See the section
entitled\u2018\u2018Changes Since the Preliminary
Results\u2019\u2019 listed below. The final
weighted\u2013average dumping margin is
listed below in the section entitled

On August 6, 2004, the Department
published the preliminary results of the
2002\u20132003 administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on persulfates
from the PRC. See Persulfates from the
People\u2019s Republic of China: Preliminary
Results of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review, 69 FR 47887
(August 6, 2004) (Preliminary Results).
In these results the Department relied
on the financial statement of a single
Indian producer of identical
merchandise to calculate surrogate
financial ratios for Ai Jian. On October
29, 2004, we recalculated our
preliminary results using the financial
statements of two Indian producers of
comparable merchandise to calculate
surrogate financial ratios. For details,
Preliminary Results of Review from
Jeffrey A. May, Deputy Assistant
Secretary, to James J. Jochum, Assistant
Secretary for Import Administration,
dated October 29, 2004. We invited
interested parties to comment on both
the preliminary and recalculated
preliminary results of review. The
Department has conducted this
administrative review in accordance
with section 751 of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act).
The products covered by this order
are persulfates, including ammonium,
potassium, and sodium persulfates. The
chemical formula for these persulfates
are, respectively, (NH4)2S2O8,K2S2O8,
and Na2S2O8. Potassium persulfates are
currently classifiable under subheading
2833.40.10 of the Harmonized Tariff
Sodium persulfates are classifiable
under HTSUS subheading 2833.40.20.
Ammonium and other persulfates are
classifiable under HTSUS subheadings
2833.40.50 and 2833.40.60. Although
the HTSUS subheadings are provided
for convenience and customs purposes,
the written description of the scope of
this order is dispositive.
Ai Jian has requested a separate,
company\u2013specific antidumping duty
rate. In our preliminary results, we
found that Ai Jian had met the criteria
for the application of a separate
antidumping duty rate. See Preliminary
received any other information since the
preliminary results which would
warrant reconsideration of our separate\u2013
rates determination with respect to this
company. Therefore, we have assigned
an individual dumping margin to Ai
Jian for this administrative review.
