The U.S. Department of Commerce has made amendments to the final results of a review concerning certain activated carbon imports from China, addressing and correcting some calculation errors. These errors led to changes in dumping margins for the involved companies, with affected companies now charged slightly lower duties on the import of these goods. New cash deposit and assessment rate requirements are established, which apply to future imports, and will remain in effect until further notice. Additionally, importers are reminded of their responsibility to comply with regulations regarding antidumping duties and protective orders.
Simple Explanation
The U.S. Department of Commerce looked at some special black stuff from China that helps clean dirty air and water and found out that they made a small mistake in counting how much money the Chinese sellers charged when they sold it in America. They fixed the mistake, and now the Chinese sellers will pay a little less money to sell it in America, starting from now until they look at it again.
