The U.S. Department of Commerce and the International Trade Commission have decided to continue the antidumping duty orders on certain stilbenic optical brightening agents from China and Taiwan. This action is based on findings that lifting these duties could lead to the recurrence of dumping and harm to U.S. industries. The orders, which have been in place since 2012, will remain effective, ensuring that U.S. Customs continues to collect duty deposits on these imports. The next review of these orders is planned before the fifth anniversary of the ITC's last determination.

The U.S. Department of Commerce and the International Trade Commission (ITC) have decided to continue the antidumping duty order on diffusion-annealed, nickel-plated flat-rolled steel products from Japan. This decision was made because removing the order could lead to the recurrence of unfair pricing and harm to U.S. industries. This continuation, effective March 31, 2025, means that U.S. Customs will keep collecting duties for these steel imports to prevent dumping. The notice also reminds parties involved about their responsibilities regarding proprietary information under the Administrative Protective Order.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has announced a partial revocation of the antidumping duty order on certain frozen fish fillets from Vietnam produced and exported by Vinh Hoan Corporation. This means that the department will not continue its review of some entries made by Vinh Hoan under this duty order, applicable from August 1, 2021. Instead, they will focus on reviewing entries where Vinh Hoan was either the exporter or producer, but not both, if the other party is still under review. The department has also instructed U.S. Customs to handle certain entries of Vinh Hoan's products without imposing antidumping duties.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has decided to terminate the investigation into allegations that glass wine bottles imported from Chile were being sold at unfairly low prices in the United States. This decision comes after the U.S. Glass Producers Coalition withdrew its petition for antidumping duties.

Consequently, U.S. Customs will stop suspending shipments of these bottles and will refund any deposits collected from importers due to the investigation.

The Department of Commerce and the International Trade Commission have determined that revoking the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on certain passenger vehicle and light truck tires from China would likely result in resumed dumping and subsidies, harming the U.S. tire industry.

Tires affected include those for cars and light trucks, excluding certain specialty and off-road types, and these regulations will remain effective as announced in the Federal Register.

This decision ensures that the protections against unfair pricing remain in place, maintaining a fair competitive environment for U.S. businesses. The order will be reviewed again in five years.

The U.S. Department of Commerce plans to end a 2019 agreement that halted an investigation into whether fresh tomatoes from Mexico are being sold in the U.S. at unfairly low prices. The termination is set for July 14, 2025, and will result in an antidumping duty order, meaning tariffs will be applied to these tomatoes. Commerce will also cancel one of the two ongoing reviews connected to the agreement and will notify U.S. Customs to start collecting cash deposits based on potential price differences once the termination is effective. This decision follows prior determinations that Mexican tomatoes are likely sold below market value and threaten U.S. industries.
