Gray Portland Cement and Clinker From Mexico; Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review

On September 10, 1998, the Department of Commerce published the preliminary results of its administrative review of the antidumping duty order on gray portland cement and clinker from Mexico. The review covers one manufacturer/exporter, CEMEX, S.A. de C.V. (CEMEX), and an affiliated party, Cementos de Chihuahua, S.A. de C.V. (CDC), and the period August 1, 1996, through July 31, 1997. We gave interested parties an opportunity to comment on the preliminary results. Based on our analysis of the comments received, we have made changes, including corrections of certain inadvertent programming and clerical errors, in the margin calculation. These corrections and adjustments to margin calculation program are described in the sections entitled ``6. Difference-in-Merchandise Information'' and ``18. Ministerial Errors,'' of the Issues Appendix. The final weighted-average dumping margin for CEMEX and CDC is 49.58 percent ad valorem.
