The U.S. Department of Commerce has determined that melamine from Trinidad and Tobago is being sold in the U.S. at less than fair value, which is a violation of trade laws. No new comments were submitted, so the decision remains the same as the preliminary findings, applying adverse facts available (AFA) to Methanol Holdings (Trinidad) Limited for not participating. The calculated dumping margin for Methanol Holdings and a 98.32% rate for all other producers and exporters continue to apply. The U.S. International Trade Commission will decide whether U.S. industries are harmed or threatened by these imports within 45 days of the official notice.

Importers and exporters must submit certifications demonstrating that MSG from Malaysia does not use Chinese glutamic acid to avoid these duties.

These findings result in an estimated weighted-average dumping margin for the company, which means they will have to pay antidumping duties on their products.

The cash deposit rates for future shipments from Industeel and other producers will be adjusted based on these results.
