ITC Issues Affirmative Preliminary Injury Determination on Certain Orange Juice From Brazil
The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) today determined that there is a reasonable indication that a U.S. industry is materially injured by reason of imports of certain orange juice from Brazil that were allegedly sold in the United States at less than fair value. As a result of the Commission's affirmative determination, the U.S. Department of Commerce will continue to conduct its antidumping investigation of imports of certain orange juice from Brazil, with its preliminary determination due on or about June 6, 2005.
Chairman Stephen Koplan and Commissioners Marcia E. Miller and Charlotte R. Lane voted in the affirmative. Vice Chairman Deanna Tanner Okun and Commissioners Jennifer A. Hillman and Daniel R. Pearson found two like products in this investigation - frozen concentrated orange juice for manufacturing ("FCOJM") and not-from-concentrate orange juice ("NFCOJ"). They voted in the affirmative with respect to FCOJM and in the negative with respect to NFCOJ.
The antidumping petition in this case was filed by Florida Citrus Mutual, A. Duda & Sons, Inc., Citrus World, Inc. and Southern Garden Citrus Processing Corp.
