Fuwei Comments on Department of Commerce's First Round Antidumping Decision

Fuwei Films Co., Ltd. FFHL today announced that it has submitted to the U.S. Department of Commerce a response outlining perceived factual errors made by the Department in calculating its final results in the first-round antidumping case. Under the subject of merchandise in the first round of anti-dumping administrative review, film manufactured by Fuwei and sold to the United States is cited from November 6, 2008 to October 31, 2009. In the decision, the Department sought to impose an anti-dumping duty of 30.91% on Fuwei. This means that Fuwei and its clients could be obliged to pay additional anti-dumping duties. In addition, the products of Fuwei could be limited in their access to the U.S. market in subsequent years. Fuwei believes that the final results contain certain errors which are clearly ministerial inaccuracies as they result from a misstatement by the Department in regards to the data which was inaccurately interpreted and therefore should be corrected. Fuwei looks forward to receiving comments on its communications with the Commerce Department on this matter so that the perceived mistake can be corrected.
