PART I.—GENERAL INFORMATION
Background. --This proceeding was instituted in response to a petition filed on January 13, 2016, by
Tensar Corporation, Morrow, Georgia. Countervailing and antidumping duties may be assessed on the
subject imports as a result of these proceedings if the Commission makes an affirmative determination
of injury, threat, or material retardation, and if the U.S. Department of Commerce (“Commerce”) makes
an affirmative determination of subsidization and/or dumping. Questionnaires and other information
pertinent to this proceeding are available at
https://usitc.gov/investigations/701731/2016/certain_biaxial_integral_geogrid_products_china/final.ht
m_0
Biaxial Integral Geogrid covered by these investigations are a polymer grid or mesh material (whether
or not finished, slit, cut-to-length, attached to woven or non-woven fabric or sheet material, or
packaged) in which four-sided openings in the form of squares, rectangles, rhomboids, diamonds, or
other four-sided figures predominate. The products covered have integral strands that have been
stretched to induce molecular orientation into the material (as evidenced by the strands being thinner in
width toward the middle between the junctions than at the junctions themselves) constituting the sides
of the openings and integral junctions where the strands intersect. The scope includes products in which
four-sided figures predominate whether or not they also contain additional strands intersecting the
four-sided figures and whether or not the inside corners of the four-sided figures are rounded off or not
sharp angles. As used herein, the term ‘‘integral’’ refers to strands and junctions that are homogenous
with each other. The products covered have a tensile strength of greater than 5 kilonewtons per meter
(‘‘kN/m’’) according to American Society for Testing and Materials (‘‘ASTM’’) Standard Test Method
D6637/D6637M in any direction and average overall flexural stiffness of more than 100,000 milligramcentimeter according to the ASTM D7748/D7748M Standard Test Method for Flexural Rigidity of
Geogrids, Geotextiles and Related Products, or other equivalent test method standards.
Subject merchandise includes material matching the above description that has been finished,
packaged, or otherwise further processed in a third country, including by trimming, slitting, coating,
cutting, punching holes, stretching, attaching to woven or nonwoven fabric or sheet material, or any
other finishing, packaging, or other further processing that would not otherwise remove the
merchandise from the scope of the investigations if performed in the country of manufacture of the
biaxial integral geogrid.
The products subject to the scope are currently classified in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (‘‘HTSUS’’) under the following subheading: 3926.90.9995. Subject merchandise may also
enter under subheadings 3920.20.0050 and 3925.90.0000. The HTSUS subheadings set forth above are
provided for convenience and U.S. Customs purposes only. The written description of the scope is
dispositive.
Reporting of information.-- If information is not readily available from your records, provide carefully
prepared estimates. If your firm is completing more than one questionnaire (i.e., a producer, importer,
purchaser and/or foreign producer questionnaire), you need not respond to duplicated questions.
Confidentiality.--The commercial and financial data furnished in response to this questionnaire that
reveal the individual operations of your firm will be treated as confidential by the Commission to the
extent that such data are not otherwise available to the public and will not be disclosed except as may
be required by law (see 19 U.S.C. §1677f). Such confidential information will not be published in a

Business Proprietary
Foreign Producers’ Questionnaire – Biaxial integral geogrids

Page 3

manner that will reveal the individual operations of your firm; however, general characterizations of
numerical business proprietary information (such as discussion of trends) will be treated as confidential
business information only at the request of the submitter for good cause shown.
Verification.--The information submitted in this questionnaire is subject to audit and verification by the
Commission. To facilitate possible verification of data, please keep all files, worksheets, and supporting
documents used in the preparation of the questionnaire response. Please also retain a copy of the final
document that you submit.
Release of information.--The information provided by your firm in response to this questionnaire, as
well as any other business proprietary information submitted by your firm to the Commission in
connection with this proceeding, may become subject to, and released under, the administrative
protective order provisions of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. § 1677f) and section 207.7 of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR § 207.7). This means that certain lawyers and
other authorized individuals may temporarily be given access to the information for use in connection
with this proceeding or other import-injury proceedings conducted by the Commission on the same or
similar merchandise; those individuals would be subject to severe penalties if the information were
divulged to unauthorized individuals.

maintenance, repair, and cleanup; and a typical or representative product mix).
“Production” --All production in your establishment(s) in China, including production consumed
internally within your firm.
“Shipments”--Shipments of products produced in your establishment(s) in China. Quantities
reported should be net of returns.
“Home market commercial shipments”--Shipments, other than internal consumption and
transfers to related firms, within China.

related firms in China, including product consumed internally by your firm.
“Export shipments”--Shipments to destinations outstide China, including shipments to related
firms.
“Inventories”--Finished goods inventory, not raw materials or work-in-progress.

Note: As requested in Part I of this questionnaire, please keep all supporting documents/records used in
the preparation of the trade data, as Commission staff may contact your firm regarding questions on the
