E6-4198. Certain Polyester Staple Fiber from Korea and Taiwan

Determinations

On the basis of the record ^[1] developed in the subject five-year reviews, the United States International Trade Commission (Commission) determines, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)) (the Act), that revocation of the antidumping duty orders on certain polyester staple fiber from Korea and Taiwan, would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States within a reasonably foreseeable time.
