The U.S. Department of Commerce and the International Trade Commission have decided to continue the antidumping duty orders on certain stilbenic optical brightening agents from China and Taiwan. This action is based on findings that lifting these duties could lead to the recurrence of dumping and harm to U.S. industries. The orders, which have been in place since 2012, will remain effective, ensuring that U.S. Customs continues to collect duty deposits on these imports. The next review of these orders is planned before the fifth anniversary of the ITC's last determination.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has determined that dioctyl terephthalate (DOTP) from Taiwan is being sold in the U.S. at less than fair value, a practice known as dumping, for the period from January 1, 2023, through December 31, 2023. The department issued its final determination on March 20, 2025, continuing to apply penalties to two companies that did not comply with the investigation. They also set a weighted-average dumping margin for other companies based on a margin specific to Nan Ya Plastics Corp. Commerce will continue holding DOTP imports from Taiwan and requiring cash deposits until a final decision is made by the U.S. International Trade Commission.

Interested parties can participate by filing an entry of appearance, and hearings are scheduled for May 2021. The investigation was initiated in response to concerns raised by the United Steelworkers union.

The U.S. Department of Commerce conducted expedited sunset reviews on antidumping duty orders for carbon and alloy steel threaded rods from India, Taiwan, and Thailand. These reviews determined that revoking the orders would likely cause dumping to continue or reoccur, with potential dumping margins up to 28.34% for India, 32.26% for Taiwan, and 20.83% for Thailand. The reviews included input from domestic interested parties but no significant responses from importers or foreign producers were received. Commerce's findings are detailed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, which is publicly accessible online.

The U.S. Department of Commerce is considering revoking part of the antidumping duties on specific small, low-wattage off-grid crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells from Taiwan. This action is in response to Lutron Electronics Co., Inc.'s request, which was not opposed by the American Alliance for Solar Manufacturing, suggesting a lack of interest from U.S. producers in continuing the duties. Commerce is inviting public comments on this preliminary decision. If finalized, the revocation will apply retroactively to certain entries of these solar products.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has decided to cancel the administrative review of a rule related to antidumping duties on certain stainless steel plates from Taiwan for the review period of May 1, 2023, to April 30, 2024.

As there were no entries to review, Commerce will not change the antidumping duties, and they will remain as initially deposited. The cancellation of this review was published on January 13, 2025.
