Interested parties may cooperate with the review referred to above by providing data related to the Exporter, Importer or other National Producer questionnaires within 30 days (extendable for another 30 days) from the date that they become aware of the investigation, to defend their interests and potentially benefit from an individual antidumping margin, which is generally lower than the margin calculated based on available information. Other potential interested third parties that have not received questionnaires may request their participation in the process by September 9, 2024 (20-day deadline).
