manufacture of resins and as a wetting agent and solvent for coating
resins, nitrocellulose, cellulose acetate, and other soluble dyes.
The product subject to this order is classifiable under subheading

Antidumping Duty Order
On June 14, 1995, in accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, the
U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) notified the Department that
imports of furfuryl alcohol from the PRC materially injure a U.S.
industry. Therefore, in accordance with section 736 of the Act, the
Department will direct United States Customs officers to assess, upon
further advice by the administering authority pursuant to section
736(a)(1) of the Act, antidumping duties equal to the amount by which
the foreign market value of the merchandise exceeds the United States
price for all entries of furfuryl alcohol from the PRC. These
antidumping duties will be assessed on all unliquidated entries of
furfuryl alcohol from the PRC entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after December 16, 1994, the date on which the
Department published its preliminary determination notice in the
Federal Register (59 FR 65009).
On or after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal
Register, U.S. Customs officers must require, at the same time as
importers would normally deposit estimated duties, the following cash
