The DOC's antidumping margins for the Chinese wire hanger producers range from 15.44 percent to 186.98 percent. Only one producer was found to have a margin of 15.44 percent; 13 companies received 54.75 percent, one had 94.06 percent, and all other Chinese producers and exporters received a margin of 186.98 percent.
The new antidumping margins have gone into effect as of Thursday, August 14, 2008, and the US International Trade Commission will make its final injury determination on September 11, 2008.
