This notice is to advise that a re-investigation of the normal values and export prices of certain waterproof rubber footwear, originating in or exported from the Republic of Korea, Taiwan, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Yugoslavia, the People's Republic of China, Hong Kong, and Malaysia has been initiated on November 22, 1996. The subject goods are waterproof rubber footwear constructed wholly or in part of rubber, worn over the foot or shoe, with or without liners, linings, fasteners, or safety features.
Rubber includes thermoplastic rubber.
Where an exporter either does not provide sufficient information to determine normal values or does not permit verification so that the Department is in a position to issue normal values, normal values will be issued on the basis of the export price to Canada plus a percentage advance. Importers are cautioned that the new normal values, when issued, may be higher than those currently in effect. Therefore, importers should bear in mind the possibility of additional assessments of anti-dumping duty once revised normal values have been issued. Notice of the completion of the review will be published in a Customs Notice.
