    The United States International Trade Commission determined that the U.S. industry is suffering due to imports of fluid end blocks from China, Germany, India, and Italy. These imports were found to be subsidized by their respective governments, and some from Germany and Italy were sold in the U.S. at less than fair value. The investigations began after petitions from several U.S. companies and a trade coalition, following which the Commission held a hearing in December 2020. Their final determinations were issued on January 25, 2021, confirming these findings.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. found that some countries, like China, Germany, India, and Italy, were not playing fair because they helped pay for making special metal parts called fluid end blocks, and some parts from Germany and Italy were sold too cheaply in the U.S., which hurt businesses in America.

    The U.S. Department of Commerce is issuing antidumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) orders on melamine imported from India. This action follows final determinations showing that these imports are being sold at less than fair value and are subsidized, which harms U.S. industries. From April 9, 2025, duties will be assessed on unliquidated entries of melamine from India. The orders also address critical circumstances and the suspension of liquidation to impose duties effectively.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. found that melamine, a chemical from India, is being sold in the U.S. very cheaply because it's unfairly priced and the Indian government is helping its producers with money support.

    The Department of Commerce has issued a countervailing duty order on wood mouldings and millwork products from China due to the determination that these subsidized imports harm an industry in the United States. As of February 16, 2021, U.S. Customs and Border Protection is instructed to assess duties on these products for entries made after June 12, 2020, but not between October 10, 2020, and the publication date of the final determination, due to a suspension lapse. The order covers various wood products, except specific exclusions like certain furnishings and products already subject to other countervailing duty orders.
