Antidumping Duty Order

    On July 7, 1997, in accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act, 
the Department published the antidumping duty order which directed the 
U.S. Customs Service to assess antidumping duties equal to the amount 
by which the normal value of the merchandise exceeds the export price 
of all entries of persulfates from the PRC. In the order, the weighted-
average margin percentages were erroneously assigned; the weighted-
average margin percentages for Sinochem Jiangsu Wuxi Import & Export 
Corporation (``Wuxi'') and Shanghai AJ Import & Export Corporation 
(``AJ'') were inverted. The following is the correction of this error:
