Saccharin from China - USITC

***“Prices will retreat towards historical US values and typical global market prices as compared to thedrastically higher prices in the US.”***“As previously indicated, we believe the revocation of the order will result in a normalized, fair marketfor saccharin.In so doing, revocation would have no effect at all on domestic production of saccharin, as there are nodomestic producers of saccharin. Hence, revocation would have no effect on the level of employment inthe United States engaged in the production of saccharin. Revocation would have an effect only on therelative competitive position of imports from different countries in the U.S. market. It would not have aneffect on the level of saccharin production in the United States. ***. The Commission’s determination inthis proceeding cannot reverse a decision that *** has already made.A decision by the Commission to maintain the order under these circumstances would simply serve tokeep prices high and to maximize the profits made by foreign producers and imports, all at the expense ofU.S. companies like *** and at the expense of the ultimate consumer of saccharin-based products.Nor would revocation of the order have any effect on the future of the domestic saccharin industry. It isclear that there is, and will be, no such industry. ***.”FOREIGN PRODUCERS/EXPORTERS’ COMMENTSThe Commission requested foreign producers to indicate whether they anticipated anychanges in their operations or organization relating to the production of PET film in the future ifthe antidumping duty order was to be revoked, and if yes, to describe those changes.
