    The U.S. Department of Commerce has amended the final results of a review on countervailing duties for phosphate fertilizers from Morocco. This amendment is due to a ministerial error where certain debt costs were not included in OCP's production costs when calculating profits for phosphate rock mining. The correction results in a revised subsidy rate. Commerce plans to inform U.S. Customs and Border Protection about these changes, affecting future import duties on these fertilizers.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. Department of Commerce fixed a mistake in how they calculated extra taxes on special fertilizers from Morocco. They forgot to include some costs, which changed the amount of tax to be collected when these fertilizers are brought into the U.S.

    The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has overturned previous decisions from the U.S. Court of International Trade regarding aluminum door thresholds from China. These thresholds, imported by Worldwide Door Components, Inc. and Columbia Aluminum Products, LLC, are now classified as subject to antidumping and countervailing duty orders. This decision means that the Department of Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to continue holding the thresholds until further instructions are given. Additionally, the cash deposit rates for these items will be determined by the rates applicable to similar products from China.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. court decided that some pieces used at the bottom of doors, called door thresholds, coming from China must follow certain price rules to make sure they're fair. This means these door parts will be checked carefully when they enter the U.S., and the right price rules for similar door parts will be used.

    The U.S. Department of Commerce has completed its review of sales by Industeel Belgium S.A. during May 1, 2022, to April 30, 2023, and found that the company sold steel plates in the U.S. at prices below normal value. These findings result in an estimated weighted-average dumping margin for the company, which means they will have to pay antidumping duties on their products. The Commerce Department will disclose the calculations behind these results within five days of publication and will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection on how to assess these duties. The cash deposit rates for future shipments from Industeel and other producers will be adjusted based on these results.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. government checked if a company from Belgium, called Industeel, was selling steel plates in the U.S. for prices cheaper than usual, which they were; now, they'll have to pay extra fees on those sales to make it fairer for everyone else.
