The Department of Commerce's International Trade Administration has postponed the preliminary determination in a countervailing duty (CVD) investigation of paper file folders from Cambodia. This delay is due to a request from the petitioner, the Coalition of Domestic Folder Manufacturers, who asked for more time to analyze responses and issue further questionnaires. Originally, the determination was due by January 16, 2025, but it has now been extended to no later than March 24, 2025. This extension allows Commerce to ensure a thorough investigation process.

In accordance with the Tariff Act of 1930, the U.S. Department of Commerce is starting the five-year reviews of certain antidumping and countervailing duty orders and suspended investigations.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has decided to rescind certain administrative reviews related to antidumping and countervailing duty orders due to the withdrawal of review requests by all parties involved.

The Commerce Department will instruct Customs and Border Protection to assess duties based on existing deposits. Importers and parties involved should note their responsibility to provide certificates or handle proprietary information as required by law.

The Department of Commerce has concluded that if the antidumping duty on certain steel grating from China were revoked, dumping would likely continue.

This notice also reminds parties of their obligations under administrative protective orders concerning the handling of proprietary information.
