INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION
[Investigation No. 731-TA-1574 (Final)]
Superabsorbent Polymers From South Korea Determination
On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject
investigation, the United States International Trade Commission
(``Commission'') determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the
Act''), that an industry in the United States is materially injured by
reason of imports of superabsorbent polymers (SAP) from South Korea,
provided for in subheadings 3906.90.50 and 3906.10.00 of the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States, that have been found by the U.S.
Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') to be sold in the United States
at less than fair value (``LTFV'').\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The record is defined in Sec. 207.2(f) of the Commission's
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).
\2\ 87 FR 65035 (October 27, 2022).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Background
The Commission instituted this investigation effective November 2,
2021, following receipt of a petition filed with the Commission and
Commerce by the Ad Hoc Coalition of American SAP Producers, whose
members include BASF Corporation, Florham Park, New Jersey; Evonik
Superabsorber LLC, Greensboro, North Carolina; and Nippon Shokubai
America Industries, Inc., Pasadena, Texas. The Commission scheduled the
final phase of the investigation following notification of a
preliminary determination by Commerce that imports of SAP from South
Korea 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 of
June 28, 2022 (87 FR 38422). The Commission conducted its hearing on
October 18, 2022. All persons who requested the opportunity were
permitted to participate.
The Commission made this determination pursuant to section 735(b)
of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)). It completed and filed its
determination in this investigation on December 8, 2022. The views of
the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 5388 (December 2022),
entitled Superabsorbent Polymers from South Korea: Investigation No.
731-TA-1574 (Final).
By order of the Commission.
Issued: December 8, 2022.
Katherine Hiner,
Acting Secretary to the Commission.
