Antidumping Duty Order

On August 8, 1994, in accordance with section 735(d) of the Act,

the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) notified the Department

that imports of GOES from Italy materially injure a U.S. industry.

Therefore, in accordance with section 736 of the Act, the Department

will direct United States Customs officers to assess, upon further

advice by the administering authority pursuant to section 736(a)(1) of

the Act, antidumping duties equal to the amount by which the foreign

market value of the merchandise exceeds the United States price for all

entries of GOES from Italy. These antidumping duties will be assessed

on all unliquidated entries of GOES from Italy entered, or withdrawn

from warehouse, for consumption on or after February 9, 1994, the date

on which the Department published its preliminary determination notice

in the Federal Register (59 FR 5991).

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:
