The Department of Commerce has determined that certain corrosion inhibitors imported from China are being sold in the United States at prices less than their fair value. The investigation into this issue covered the period from July 1, 2019, to December 31, 2019. As a result of this finding, the U.S. will continue to suspend the liquidation of relevant imports and require cash deposits to cover the difference between normal value and U.S. sale prices. The final determination relies on adverse facts available for some Chinese entities that did not fully cooperate with the investigation, resulting in significant dumping margins.
Simple Explanation
The Commerce Department found that some products from China, called corrosion inhibitors, are being sold in the U.S. for too cheap, which isn't fair to American companies. So, they're making rules to make sure these products cost the right amount and didn't work right with the investigation.
