The Department of Commerce is delaying the preliminary determinations in its investigations into whether hard empty capsules from Brazil, China, India, and Vietnam are being sold in the U.S. at less-than-fair-value. Originally set for April 2, 2025, the deadline is now postponed to May 22, 2025, due to a request from the petitioner, Lonza Greenwood LLC, which needed more time to gather comprehensive information. The Commerce Department agreed to the postponement because there were no strong reasons to deny it, and it will continue to follow the procedural guidelines outlined in the relevant legal sections.
Simple Explanation
The group in charge of checking if some special capsules from different countries are being sold unfairly cheap in the U.S. is taking more time to decide because a company asked for it and they said okay. Now, they will tell us what they think later than they planned because the company needs more time to get all the right information.
