Saccharin maker wins in court

PMC Specialties Group Inc., in St. Bernard, the only U.S. producer of the artificial sweetener saccharin, has won another round in its yearlong antidumping case against producers in the People's Republic of China.

The U.S. Commerce Department this week set final duties of up to 329 percent on imports from China. PMC has charged Chinese producers with exporting saccharin at prices below cost to grab market share.

Suzhou Fine Chemicals Group Co. was assessed duties of 292 percent; Shanghai Fortune Chemical Co., 249 percent; Kaifeng Xinhua Fine Chemical Co., 282 percent; and all other Chinese producers will be assessed 329 percent, the Commerce Department said.

The U.S. International Trade Commission was hearing testimony Thursday in the final, injury phase, of the proceedings.
