1. THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE HAS REVOKED THE ANTIDUMPING DUTY
ORDER ON MECHANICAL TRANSFER PRESSES FROM JAPAN IN PART WITH
RESPECT TO HITACHI ZOSEN CORPORATION AND HITACHI ZOSEN FUKUI

THE SUBJECT PRODUCT THAT WERE SUSPENDED ON OR AFTER 02/01/2003

3. YOU SHALL CONTINUE TO COLLECT CASH DEPOSITS OF ESTIMATED
