(T.D. 78-13) Notice of Modification or Revocation of Dumping Finding Antidumping-Elemental Sulphur from Mexico; Section 153.46, Customs Regula AGENCY: United States Treasury Department. ACTION: Modification of Dumping Finding. SUMMARY: This notice is to inform the public that Azufrera Panamericana S.A. of Mexico is no longer selling elemental sulphur from Mexico at less than fair value under the Antidumping Act, 1921. Sales at less than fair value generally occur when the price of merchandise sold for exportation to the United States is less than the price of such or similar merchandise sold in the home market or to third countries. In addition, Azufrera has given assurances that future sales will not be at less than fair value. As a result of this action, Azufrera's shipments of this merchandise from Mexico which were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after September 8, 1977, will not be liable for special dumping duties.
