Based on final decisions made by the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission, the Commerce Department has issued antidumping duty orders on melamine imported from Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, and Trinidad and Tobago. This means that these countries have been selling melamine in the U.S. at unfairly low prices, harming American businesses. As a result, these imports will now be subject to special duties to level the playing field. The orders also detail procedures for lifting certain duties and continuing others, in accordance with U.S. tariff laws.

The U.S. Department of Commerce is stopping its review of the antidumping duty order on carbon and alloy steel wire rods from Ukraine for the period of March 1, 2023, to February 29, 2024.

The Commerce Department will instruct Customs and Border Protection to assess duties on all suitable entries at the rate established when the products entered the U.S. market. This notice serves as a reminder to parties about handling proprietary information linked to the review.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has finalized changes to the rules aimed at Hanwha Q CELLS Malaysia Sdn. Bhd., related to the trade of crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells from China. These changes allow new wafer suppliers, identified by Hanwha, to be included in trade certifications.

The amendments intend to adjust the trade certifications to better reflect the supply chain complexities in producing these solar cells.

The corrected notice clarifies these errors and updates the information accordingly.

Interested parties can submit comments until May 15, 2025, but only if they include no new facts. The Commission may extend the review period by up to 90 days due to the complexity of the reviews.

The U.S. Department of Commerce, along with the International Trade Commission, has decided to impose antidumping duties on frozen warmwater shrimp imported from Indonesia. Additionally, they have issued countervailing duties on similar shrimp imported from Ecuador, India, and Vietnam.

Orders are effective from specific dates, with measures to ensure compliance through customs and border protection enforcement.

The process will include staff reports and written submissions, with a chance for public comment, and the review period might be extended by up to 90 days.

As part of the investigation, the department is aligning the final countervailing duty decision with the final determination of a related investigation into whether these products are being sold in the U.S. at less than fair value.
