The U.S. Department of Commerce announced that it is immediately ending its policy of issuing liquidation instructions for certain antidumping and countervailing duty cases 15 days after a final decision is published, if no statutory injunction is requested.

The policy change applies only to goods not originating from Canada and Mexico, as they were already exempt from the 15-day rule.

The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) announced the scheduling of the final phase of investigations into imports of ceramic tile from India. These investigations, under the Tariff Act of 1930, aim to determine if these imports, alleged to be subsidized and sold at unfairly low prices, are harming the U.S. ceramic tile industry. The investigations were initiated based on a petition from the Coalition for Fair Trade in Ceramic Tile, a group of American ceramic tile manufacturers. The USITC will conduct hearings and allow for written submissions from interested parties, with the aim of protecting local industry from unfair international trade practices.

The Department of Commerce determined that Fedmet Resources Corporation did not ship any magnesia carbon bricks from China to the United States during the review period of September 1, 2018, to August 31, 2019. Additionally, sixteen other companies involved in the review are considered part of the China-wide entity because they failed to submit necessary documents but were not reviewed as such. The current rate for the China-wide entity is 236.00 percent, which remains unchanged. The required cash deposit rates for future shipments from Chinese exporters will be based on this rate and other specific conditions mentioned.

The Department of Commerce has determined that KG Dongbu Steel Co., Ltd. is considered the successor to Dongbu Steel Co., Ltd. and Dongbu Incheon Steel Co., Ltd. for the purposes of antidumping duty (AD) cash deposits related to imports from Korea. However, KG Dongbu Steel is not viewed as the successor for countervailing duty (CVD) reasons because of significant ownership changes that might affect subsidy calculations. As a result, for AD purposes, KG Dongbu Steel will inherit the duty rates from Dongbu Steel/Dongbu Incheon, but for CVD, they will not. U.S. Customs and Border Protection will apply these AD rates to future imports from KG Dongbu Steel until further notice.

The investigation process will include selecting specific companies in China to examine, evaluating how the erythritol prices compare to typical market rates, and determining if this pricing practice is affecting U.S. producers negatively. The review also involves gathering and analyzing data from various parties and ensuring that all submitted information is received and processed by the respective deadlines.

The Commission will release a public report and accept written comments until March 13, 2025, unless extended by the Department of Commerce.
