    The Commerce Department and the International Trade Commission are set to conduct five-year reviews, known as Sunset Reviews, in February 2021 under the Tariff Act of 1930. These reviews assess whether ending antidumping or countervailing duty orders would lead to a return of unfair trade practices or injuries. Interested parties must express their intent to participate within 15 days of the review's start, and can submit further comments within 30 days. The process aims to ensure fair international trade practices continue and is detailed in U.S. regulations.

    The U.S. Department of Commerce conducted an expedited review of the antidumping duty order on steel racks imported from China. They found that revoking this order would likely result in continued or increased dumping, with dumping margins possibly reaching up to 144.50%. This notice outlines the procedural background of the review and details the findings in an accompanying memorandum. The department published these results to ensure fair trade practices are maintained in the U.S. market.

    Simple Explanation

    The people looking at the rules noticed that if they stopped a safety rule about steel shelves from China, China might start selling them really cheaply again, which isn't fair. They decided to keep the rule to make sure everyone plays fair and to protect people who make and sell shelves in the U.S.

    The Department of Commerce is delaying the final decision on the investigation of copper pipes and tubes from Vietnam, which are suspected of being sold at unfairly low prices in the U.S. market. Initially set to conclude sooner, the decision is postponed until June 16, 2021, following requests from both the exporters and the American Copper Tube Coalition. These parties also requested that provisional measures against these imports be extended from four to six months. The preliminary investigation results were affirmative, prompting this extension to ensure fair trade practices.

    Simple Explanation

    The Department of Commerce is taking more time to decide if copper pipes coming from Vietnam are sold too cheaply in the U.S. and is looking into this until June 16, 2021. They are also extending special rules for another two months to make sure everything is fair for everyone involved.
