CC, AD Suspension of Liquidation, for Aifudi, Separate Rate Respondents
The ITA continues to find that critical circumstances (CC) exist for mandatory respondent Zibo Aifudi Plastic Packaging Co., Ltd. and the separate rate respondents, and will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to continue AD suspension of liquidation of all entries of LWS from Aifudi and the separate rate respondents with a time of entry on or after November 2, 2007 (90 days prior to the date of publication of the preliminary determination).
AD Suspension of Liquidation for China-Wide Entity (Including SSJ)
In its final determination, the ITA finds that mandatory respondent Shouguang Jianyuanchun Co., Ltd. (SSJ) is part of the China-wide entity. As ITA continues to find that critical circumstances do not exist for the China-wide entity (including SSJ), it will instruct CBP to continue AD suspension of liquidation of all entries of LWS from the China-wide entity (including SSJ) with a time of entry on or after January 31, 2008.

CBP will require an AD cash deposit or the posting of a bond at the AD rates specified below for entries of LWS from China with a time of entry on or after June 24, 2008 (as the rates have changed since the preliminary determination):
Scope of the Investigation
The ITA has adopted as final certain amendments to the scope of investigation that were adopted in the preliminary determination. (See BP's summary of the ITA's preliminary AD determination for these changes.)
AD Duty Order if ITC finds Injury/Threat of Injury
Within 45 days, the ITC will determine whether the domestic industry in the U.S. is materially injured, or threatened with material injury, by reason of imports or sales (or the likelihood of sales) for importation of the subject merchandise.
If the ITC determines that material injury or threat of material injury does not exist, the proceeding will be terminated and all securities posted will be refunded or canceled.
If the ITC determines that such injury does exist, the ITA will issue an AD duty order directing CBP to assess AD duties on all imports of the subject merchandise with a time of entry on or after the effective date of the suspension of liquidation.
