Executive Summary
Antidumping margin of 144% applicable to all but two bulk aspirin exporters in the People's Republic of China, the International Trade Administration says in a final determination published in the Federal Register May 25. ITA assigns weighted-average dumping margins of 42.8% to Shandong Xinhau Pharmaceutical Factory and 4.7% to Jilin Pharmaceutical. The case now goes to the International Trade Commission, which will issue an antidumping order if it determines Chinese bulk aspirin imports are materially injurious, or threaten material injury, to U.S. industry. The investigation was requested by Cranbury, N.J.-based bulk aspirin maker Rhodia (1"The Tan Sheet" June 14, 1999, p. 9)
