COMMISSION 

[Investigation Nos. 701–TA–452 and 731–

TA–1129–1130 (Final)] 

Raw Flexible Magnets From China and 

Taiwan 

Determinations 

On the basis of the record 1 developed 

in the subject investigations, the United 

States International Trade Commission 

(Commission) determines, pursuant to 

section 705(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930 

(19 U.S.C. 1671d(b)) (the Act), that an 

industry in the United States is 

threatened with material injury by 

reason of imports from China of raw 

flexible magnets, provided for in 

subheadings 8505.19.10 and 8505.19.20 

of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of 

the United States, that have been found 

by the Department of Commerce 

(Commerce) to be subsidized by the 

Government of China.2 The Commission 

further determines, pursuant to section 

735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)), 

that an industry in the United States is 

threatened with material injury by 

reason of imports from China and 

Taiwan of raw flexible magnets that 

have been found by Commerce to be 

sold in the United States at less than fair 

value (LTFV).3 4 In addition, the 

Commission determines that it would 

not have found material injury but for 

the suspension of liquidation. 

Background 

The Commission instituted these 

investigations effective September 21, 

2007, following receipt of a petition 

filed with the Commission and 

Commerce by Magnum Magnetics Corp., 

Marietta, OH. The final phase of the 

investigations was scheduled by the 

Commission following notification of 

preliminary determinations by 

Commerce that imports of raw flexible 

magnets from China were being 

subsidized within the meaning of 

section 703(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 

1671b(b)), and that imports of raw 

flexible magnets from China and Taiwan 

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 investigations 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 May 8, 2008 (73 FR 26145). 

The hearing was held in Washington, 

DC, on July 10, 2008, and all persons 

who requested the opportunity were 

permitted to appear in person or by 

counsel. 

The Commission transmitted its 

determinations in these investigations to 

the Secretary of Commerce on August 

25, 2008. The views of the Commission 

are contained in USITC Publication 

4030 (August 2008), entitled Raw 

Flexible Magnets from China and 

Taiwan: Investigations No. 701–TA–452 

and 731–TA–1129–1130 (Final).
