    The U.S. Department of Commerce has finalized its review of countervailing duties on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film from India, determining that certain producers and exporters received subsidies during 2022.

    Type:Notice
    Citation:90 FR 11436
    Reading Time:about 3 minutes

    The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) has found that imports of temporary steel fencing from China may be harming the U.S. industry because they are being sold at unfairly low prices and subsidized by the Chinese government. As a result, the USITC is moving forward with final phase investigations under the Tariff Act of 1930. The investigations were initiated after ZND US Inc. filed complaints on January 15, 2025, leading to separate inquiries into potential countervailing and antidumping duties. The USITC held a public conference on February 5, 2025, allowing participation from interested parties.

    Simple Explanation

    The US government thinks that the temporary steel fences from China are being sold too cheaply in the U.S., which might be hurting American companies. So, they are looking into it closely to see if China is unfairly helping its companies sell these fences cheaply.

  • 2021-00212 — Certain Vertical Shaft Engines Between 225cc and 999cc, and Parts Thereof From the People's Republic of China: Final Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination and Final Negative Critical Circumstances Determination
    Type:Notice
    Citation:86 FR 1933
    Reading Time:about 12 minutes

    The Department of Commerce determined that producers and exporters of certain vertical shaft engines from China are receiving unfair subsidies. These engines, used primarily in lawn mowers, may lead to countervailing duties if the U.S. International Trade Commission finds they harm U.S. industry. The investigation covers engines with displacements between 225cc and 999cc and includes specific components defined as unfinished engines. The final decision will impact how these products are handled at U.S. borders, including potential duties and customs actions.

    Simple Explanation

    The government found out that companies in China are getting extra help from their country to make certain engines used in lawn mowers cheaper to sell, which might be unfair to people who make similar engines in the U.S. If they decide this hurts the U.S. makers, they might make new rules to add extra costs when these engines are brought to the U.S. to make things fair.
