Scope of the measure

The product covered by this order is methionine from France. For a full description of the scope of the order, see the appendix to this notice. Antidumping Duty Order On June 30 2021, in accordance with sections 735(b)(1)(A)(i) and 735(d) of the Act, the ITC notified Commerce of the ITC Final Determinations that an industry in the United States is materially injured by reason of imports of methionine from France and its determination that critical circumstances do not exist with respect to imports of subject merchandise from France that are subject to Commerce's affirmative critical circumstances finding. Therefore, in accordance with section 735(c)(2) of the Act, we are issuing this AD order on methionine from France. Because Commerce has determined that sales of methionine from France were made at LTFV, and the ITC determined that imports of methionine from France are materially injuring the U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of such merchandise from France entered, or withdrawn, for consumption are subject to the assessment of antidumping duties. Therefore, in accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce intends to direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, antidumping duties equal to the amount by which the normal value of the merchandise exceeds the export price (or constructed export price) of the merchandise for all relevant entries of methionine from France. As further described below, antidumping duties will be assessed on unliquidated entries of methionine entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, on or after March 4, 2021, the date of publication of the Preliminary Determination, but will not include entries occurring after the expiration of the provisional measures period and before publication of the ITC's final injury determination, as further described below. See Methionine From France: Preliminary Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Partial Affirmative Determination of Critical Circumstances, 86 FR 12627 (March 4, 2021) (Preliminary Determination). Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation Except as noted in the ``Provisional Measures'' section of this notice, in accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, Commerce intends to instruct CBP to continue to suspend liquidation on all relevant entries of methionine from France. These instructions suspending liquidation will remain in effect until further notice. Pursuant to 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(d), Commerce also intends to instruct CBP to require cash deposits equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping margins indicated in the table below. Accordingly, effective on the date of publication in the Federal Register of the notice of the ITC's final affirmative injury determination, CBP must require, at the same time as importers would normally deposit estimated customs duties on subject merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the rates listed in the table below. The all- others rate applies to producers and exporters not specifically listed, as appropriate. See Methionine from France (Inv. No. 731-TA-1534 (Final)), 86 FR 35826 (July 7, 2021) (ITC Final Determination). Critical Circumstances With regard to instances in which entries of subject merchandise were produced and exported by Adisseo France S.A.S. and Commentry (collectively, Adisseo), or produced by Adisseo and exported by a company not specified in the table below, within 90 days prior to the publication of the Preliminary Determination, then, pursuant to section 735(c)(1)(B)(ii) of the Act, Commerce had instructed CBP to require a cash deposit for such entries of subject merchandise at a rate equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping margin established for Adisseo. However, with regard to the ITC's negative critical circumstances determination on imports of methionine from France, we will instruct CBP to lift suspension and to refund all cash deposits made to secure the payment of estimated antidumping duties with respect to entries of the subject merchandise attributed to all parties entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after December 4, 2020 (i.e., 90 days prior to the date of the publication of the Preliminary Determination), but before March 4, 2021 (i.e., the date of publication of the Preliminary Determination). Estimated Weighted-Average Dumping Margins The estimated weighted-average dumping margins are as follows: Estimated weighted- average Exporter or producer dumping margin (percent) Adisseo France S.A.S. and Commentry 43.82 All Others 16.17 Provisional Measures Section 733(d) of the Act states that suspension of liquidation pursuant to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in effect for more than four months, except where exporters representing a significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise request that commerce extend the four-month period to no more than six months. For this investigation, Commerce decided not to extend the four-month period to six months. Commerce published the Preliminary Determination in this investigation on March 4, 2021. Id. The provisional measures period, beginning on the date of publication of the preliminary determination, ended on July 1, 2021.
