The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) has issued a new rule adding 16 entities to the Entity List because they are involved in activities against U.S. national security or foreign policy interests. These entities, mostly located in China and a couple in Singapore, are contributing to the development of advanced computing technology that could be used for military and surveillance purposes. As a result, they are now subject to additional licensing requirements for exporting, reexporting, or transferring items covered by U.S. regulations. This rule is effective from January 16, 2025, and was enacted without a prior proposal due to its relevance to national security.

The United States International Trade Commission has announced that it will conduct full reviews to assess if lifting antidumping duties on acetone from Belgium, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, and Spain could lead to material harm to domestic industries. These reviews are part of the Tariff Act of 1930, which allows the Commission to determine the impact of revoking trade measures. Although responses from some countries like Belgium, South Korea, and Singapore were inadequate, the Commission decided to review all countries' cases for administrative efficiency. A schedule for these reviews will be announced later.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has completed the first expedited sunset reviews of antidumping duty orders on acetone from Belgium, Korea, Singapore, South Africa, and Spain. The review determined that revoking these orders would likely result in continued or repeated dumping of acetone at significant margins, with percentages as high as 414.92% for South Africa. These results suggest that the antidumping duties should remain in place to prevent unfair pricing practices from these countries. The document provides details about the review process and the findings related to the likelihood of future dumping.
