This amendment is published to ensure accuracy and compliance with trade investigation regulations.

The U.S. Department of Commerce is ending a review of countervailing duties on ceramic tiles from China for 2023, because there were no qualifying entries by the company in question. An earlier request to evaluate the exporter, Cayenne Corporation Ltd., was made, but it was found that there were no ceramic tiles imported from them during the review period. As a result, the current cash deposit rates for duties will remain unchanged. This decision was made because there were no goods to assess during the review period, so the review is being fully rescinded.

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. This decision means that solar cells or modules from Malaysia that entered the U.S. since May 6, 2024, can be considered under these altered certification standards, allowing Hanwha to avoid penalties related to previous antidumping and countervailing duty orders. 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.

If no harm is found, the investigation will be terminated, and any duties collected will be refunded.

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.
