U.S. INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION VOTES TO END ANTIDUMPING CASE ON LIQUID SULFUR DIOXIDE FROM CANADA
TORONTO, December 7, 2005 - Chemtrade Logistics Income Fund (TSX: CHE.UN) announced today that the US International Trade Commission (ITC) has voted in a 5-1 decision that there is no reasonable indication that a US industry is materially injured or threatened with material injury by reason of imports of liquid sulfur dioxide from Canada. As a result of the vote, the case will end. A sole US producer had alleged that all Canadian producers of liquid sulfur dioxide had been dumping into the US market.
The effect of the ITC vote is that entries of liquid sulfur dioxide into the US from Canada will not be subjected to antidumping duties.
Chemtrade is one of the world’s largest suppliers of sulphuric acid, liquid sulphur dioxide (SO2) and sodium hydrosulphite (SHS), and a leading processor of spent acid, particularly in the U.S. Gulf Coast region. Chemtrade is also a leading regional supplier of sulphur, sodium chlorate and phosphorous pentasulphide, and also produces zinc oxide at three North American locations.
