Scope of Order

The product covered by this order is calcium aluminate (CA) flux,

other than white, high purity CA flux. This product contains by weight

more than 32 percent but less than 65 percent alumina and more than one

percent each of iron and silica.

CA flux is currently classifiable under Harmonized Tariff Schedule

of the United States (HTSUS) subheading 2523.10.0000. Although the

HTSUS subheading is provided for convenience and customs purposes, the

written description of the scope of this investigation remains

dispositive.

Antidumping Duty Order

In accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, on March 25, 1994 the

Department published in the Federal Register its final determination

that CA flux from France is being sold at less than fair value (59 FR

14136). We amended our final determination on May 9, 1994 (see 59 FR

25446, May 16, 1994) to correct a clerical error. On June 6, 1994, in

accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, the U.S. International Trade

Commission (ITC) notified the Department that imports of CA flux from

France materially injure a U.S. industry.

Suspension of Liquidation

In accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act, the Department

will direct U.S. Customs officers to assess antidumping duties equal to

the amount by which the foreign market value of the merchandise exceeds

the United States price for all entries of CA flux from France. These

antidumping duties will be assessed on all unliquidated entries of CA

flux from France entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption

on or after March 25, 1994, the date on which the Department published

its final determination notice in the Federal Register.

On or after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal

Register, U.S. Customs officers must require, at the same time as

importers would normally deposit estimated duties, the following cash

deposits for the subject merchandise:
