The U.S. Department of Commerce has amended the final results of a review on countervailing duties for phosphate fertilizers from Morocco. This amendment is due to a ministerial error where certain debt costs were not included in OCP's production costs when calculating profits for phosphate rock mining.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has preliminarily determined that TRAPA Forest Products Ltd. is the successor-in-interest to Trans-Pacific Trading Ltd. This means that TRAPA will receive the same countervailing duty cash deposit rate as Trans-Pacific for certain softwood lumber products from Canada. This decision is part of a review process that began with a request from TRAPA, following a name change from Trans-Pacific. Interested parties have an opportunity to comment and request a hearing on this preliminary decision.

The U.S. Department of Commerce, along with the International Trade Commission, has decided to impose antidumping duties on frozen warmwater shrimp imported from Indonesia. Additionally, they have issued countervailing duties on similar shrimp imported from Ecuador, India, and Vietnam. These actions are taken because these imports are being sold at less than fair value and are subsidized, which harms the U.S. shrimp industry. Orders are effective from specific dates, with measures to ensure compliance through customs and border protection enforcement.

The United States International Trade Commission has announced the scheduling of expedited reviews under the Tariff Act of 1930 to assess whether removing antidumping and countervailing duty orders on steel trailer wheels from China might lead to continued or recurring material injury to U.S. industries in the foreseeable future. The reviews were deemed necessary due to an adequate response from the domestic interested party group, whereas the response from the respondent interested party group was deemed inadequate. Interested parties are invited to submit written comments, provided they meet specific requirements, by February 13, 2025, unless the Department of Commerce extends the deadline. The review period may be extended by up to 90 days due to the complexity of these reviews.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has determined that TRAPA Forest Products Ltd. (TRAPA) is the successor to Trans-Pacific Trading Ltd. concerning the countervailing duty order on certain softwood lumber from Canada. As a result, TRAPA will now be subject to the same cash deposit rate of 6.74% that previously applied to Trans-Pacific. This decision follows the Department's preliminary findings, and no objections were raised against it. Consequently, all shipments of applicable products by TRAPA will adopt this rate moving forward.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has determined that ending the countervailing duty order on vertical metal file cabinets from China could lead to the continuation of government subsidies for those items.

The United States International Trade Commission has announced the start of investigations to see if the U.S. industry is harmed by imports of chassis and subassemblies from Mexico, Thailand, and Vietnam. These items might be sold in the U.S. at prices lower than their value due to subsidies from these countries' governments. The Commission will decide by April 14, 2025, whether these imports are causing damage or a threat to U.S. businesses. They will hold a public conference and accept written comments to gather more information on the matter.
