  • 2025-04916 — Temporary Steel Fencing From the People's Republic of China: Postponement of Preliminary Determination of Countervailing Duty Investigation
    Type:Notice
    Citation:90 FR 13450
    Reading Time:about 3 minutes

    The Department of Commerce has postponed the preliminary determination for a countervailing duty investigation on imports of temporary steel fencing from China. This delay, requested by the petitioner ZND US Inc. and granted because of the investigation's complexity, moves the deadline from April 10, 2025, to June 16, 2025. This adjustment complies with regulatory guidelines and allows for a more thorough analysis of the subsidy programs involved. The final determination is still due 75 days after the new preliminary determination date.

    Simple Explanation

    The Commerce Department pushed back the date to decide on a special tax for steel fences from China because the topic is tricky and needs more time to understand, moving their initial decision from April to June 2025. Even though one company asked for the delay, everyone will have to wait longer for the final answer.

  • 2025-04094 — Thermoformed Molded Fiber Products From the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Preliminary Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination, Preliminary Affirmative Critical Circumstances Determination, and Alignment of Final Determination With Final Antidumping Duty Determination
    Type:Notice
    Citation:90 FR 12126
    Reading Time:about 15 minutes

    The U.S. Department of Commerce has preliminarily found that producers and exporters of thermoformed molded fiber products from Vietnam are receiving unfair financial support from their government, known as countervailable subsidies. This preliminary decision involves critical circumstances for such imports from several Vietnamese companies and will include a suspension of liquidation for these products as they enter the United States. The Department of Commerce plans to finalize their decision in July 2025 and is seeking input from interested parties. They will also coordinate with the U.S. International Trade Commission to determine if these imports are harming U.S. industries.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. government thinks some companies in Vietnam might be getting extra help from their government to make and send products to the U.S. This could be unfair to American companies, so the government is thinking about putting special fees on these products to make it even. They are asking people for their thoughts before they make a final decision.
