Further information on this aspect may be obtained from the Trade Remedies Group.
Summary of the Investigation
Material Injury
Because injury was fully considered by the last review, this reassessment considered injury only to the extent of considering whether injury could be remedied through a duty at less than the margin of dumping.
Dumping
The investigation found dumping with margins ranging from de minimis to 48 percent.
