INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation No. 731-TA-1104 (Final)]


Certain Polyester Staple Fiber From China

Determination

    On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject 
investigation, the United States International Trade Commission 
(Commission) determines, pursuant to section 735(b) of the Tariff Act 
of 1930 (19 U.S.C. Sec.  1673d(b)) (the Act), that an industry in the 
United States is materially injured by reason of imports from China of 
certain polyester staple fiber, provided for in subheading 5503.20.00 
of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, that have been 
found by the Department of Commerce (Commerce) to be sold in the United 
States at less than fair value

(LTFV). The Commission finds that critical circumstances do not exist 
with respect to subject imports from China.

Background

    The Commission instituted this investigation effective June 23, 
2006, following receipt of a petition filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by DAK Americas, LLC, Charlotte, NC; Nan Ya Plastics 
Corporation, America, Lake City, SC; and Wellman, Inc., Shrewsbury, NJ. 
The final phase of the investigation was scheduled by the Commission 
following notification of a preliminary determination by Commerce that 
imports of certain polyester staple fiber from China were being sold at 
LTFV within the meaning of section 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 
1673b(b)). Notice of the scheduling of the final phase of the 
Commission's investigation and of a public hearing to be held in 
connection therewith was given by posting copies of the notice in the 
Office of the Secretary, U.S. International Trade Commission, 
Washington, DC, and by publishing the notice in the Federal Register on 
January 11, 2007 (72 FR 1341). The hearing was held in Washington, DC, 
on March 13, 2007, and all persons who requested the opportunity were 
permitted to appear in person or by counsel.
    The Commission transmitted its determination in this investigation 
to the Secretary of Commerce on May 24, 2007. The views of the 
Commission are contained in USITC Publication 3922 (June 2007), 
entitled Certain Polyester Staple Fiber from China: Investigation No. 
731-TA-1104 (Final).
