The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) announced a supplemental schedule for ongoing investigations into imports of melamine from India. This schedule follows the Department of Commerce's final affirmative determinations that melamine from India is subject to countervailing and antidumping duties. Interested parties must submit comments on these determinations by February 24, 2025, but cannot include new factual information, and submissions are limited to five pages. All documents related to these investigations must be filed electronically via the USITC's Electronic Document Information System, as no paper filings will be accepted.

The United States International Trade Commission has determined that if the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on laminated woven sacks from China are revoked, it would likely harm industries in the United States in the foreseeable future. The Commission began these reviews on July 1, 2024, and expedited the process in October 2024. The decisions were finalized and filed on February 13, 2025, as documented in the USITC Publication 5589.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has determined that some producers and exporters of ferrosilicon from Malaysia receive government subsidies, which are illegal under U.S. trade law. The investigation looked at the period from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023, and involved verifying information from Malaysian companies. Although critical circumstances were found for most producers, they were not found for two major companies, OM Materials and Pertama. If the U.S. International Trade Commission finds that U.S. industries are harmed by these imports, a countervailing duty order will be issued to impose duties on the subsidized products.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has conducted an expedited sunset review regarding the antidumping duty order on Laminated Woven Sacks (LWS) from Vietnam. The review found that revoking this order would likely lead to continued or repeated dumping, with dumping margins potentially as high as 292.61%. These findings are published as the final results of the review. The document serves as a reminder to parties involved to handle proprietary information according to regulations.

The Commerce Department's International Trade Administration announced a postponement of preliminary decisions in investigations into the import of corrosion-resistant steel products from ten countries, including Australia, Brazil, and Canada. On January 10, 2025, the petitioners, which include several U.S. steel companies and a labor union, requested this delay because of the complexity and size of the investigations. The original deadline of February 12, 2025, has now been extended by 50 days to April 3, 2025, allowing the Department more time to gather comprehensive information. The final determinations are scheduled to follow 75 days after the preliminary findings.

The United States International Trade Commission has decided to maintain existing countervailing and antidumping duties on quartz surface products from China. This decision was based on the finding that removing these duties would likely harm U.S. industries. The review process started in June 2024, and these findings were finalized and documented in January 2025 under the publication "Quartz Surface Products from China."

The Department of Commerce has preliminarily determined that a producer/exporter from Australia sold certain hot-rolled steel flat products in the U.S. at prices below the normal value between October 1, 2018, and September 30, 2019. Interested parties are encouraged to comment on these findings. The review inadvertently included AJU Steel USA Inc., which should not have been part of it, and Commerce plans to rescind the review concerning AJU Steel. The results might lead to adjustments in antidumping duties and cash deposit rates for future shipments.
