The U.S. Department of Commerce has postponed the preliminary determinations in their investigations of countervailing duties on float glass products from China and Malaysia. Initially set for March 6, 2025, these determinations will now be due no later than May 12, 2025. The postponement follows a request from the petitioner, Vitro Flat Glass, LLC and Vitro Meadville Flat Glass, LLC, to allow more time for analyzing data and issuing additional questionnaires if needed. The decision complies with legislative guidelines permitting such delays under certain conditions.

The document is a notice from the International Trade Administration, part of the U.S. Department of Commerce, announcing an extension of the deadline for determining the adequacy of petitions related to antidumping and countervailing duties on float glass products from China and Malaysia. The petitions were filed by Vitro Flat Glass, LLC and Vitro Meadville Flat Glass, LLC, and aim to protect domestic float glass producers from unfair pricing and subsidies. The Commerce Department has extended the deadline by up to 20 additional days, making the new determination date on or before December 31, 2024, to gather more information and determine industry support. Furthermore, they have notified the U.S. International Trade Commission about the extension.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has preliminarily determined that crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells from Malaysia are being sold in the U.S. at prices lower than their fair value. This investigation covers the period from April 1, 2023, to March 31, 2024. As a result, the Commerce Department plans to implement duties on these imports to counteract the underpricing, although some products, such as those produced by Hanwha Q Cells, might be exempt from these measures due to their zero dumping margin. The public and interested parties are invited to submit comments on this preliminary decision.

Importers must ensure their compliance with filing requirements to avoid the potential assessment of double antidumping duties. The agency has also outlined cash deposit requirements effective from the review's publication date.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has determined that ferrosilicon imports from Malaysia are being sold at less than fair value in the U.S. between January 1, 2023, and December 31, 2023.

Bhd. and Pertama Ferroalloys Sdn. Bhd, for which the agency adjusted the cash deposit rates based on their dumping margins. The U.S. International Trade Commission will follow up with its own investigation to assess potential harm to the U.S. domestic industry.

The United States International Trade Commission (ITC) has determined that there's a reasonable indication that an industry in the U.S. is being harmed by float glass products imported from China and Malaysia at prices less than fair value. These products are also allegedly subsidized by their respective governments. As a result, the ITC has initiated the final phase of investigations into these imports. These investigations began after Vitro Flat Glass, LLC filed petitions in November 2024 claiming injury to the U.S. industry from these imports.

The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) announced a change in the schedule for its investigations regarding float glass products from China and Malaysia.

These investigations are being conducted under the authority of the Tariff Act of 1930.

Both companies have withdrawn their requests to appear at the hearing and have agreed to answer any questions from the Commission in writing. The companies involved are expected to respond to written questions in their post-hearing briefs by April 1, 2025.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has determined that some producers and exporters of ferrosilicon from Malaysia receive government subsidies, which are illegal under U.S. trade law. The investigation looked at the period from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023, and involved verifying information from Malaysian companies. Although critical circumstances were found for most producers, they were not found for two major companies, OM Materials and Pertama. If the U.S. International Trade Commission finds that U.S. industries are harmed by these imports, a countervailing duty order will be issued to impose duties on the subsidized products.

The extension is meant to provide more time to evaluate the information and for stakeholders to submit their feedback. This action follows the regulations under the Tariff Act of 1930 which allows such postponements when necessary.
