    The U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) have decided that removing antidumping and countervailing duty orders on steel racks and parts from China would likely result in unfair pricing and subsidies, harming U.S. industries. As a result, Commerce is continuing these orders, meaning U.S. Customs and Border Protection will keep collecting duties on these imports. These orders apply to steel racks and parts thereof, with specific exclusions and detailed scope described within the orders. The decision is effective from March 5, 2025, and compliance with protective measures regarding business information is required.

    The Department of Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission have decided to continue the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on citric acid and certain citrate salts from China. This decision is based on findings that removing these orders would likely result in the recurrence of dumping, government subsidies, and harm to the U.S. industry. The continuation of these orders means that additional duties will still be collected on these imports to protect U.S. businesses. This continuation is effective from January 4, 2021, and further reviews will be conducted in the future to assess the situation again.

    The U.S. Department of Commerce has released preliminary findings that BGH Edelstahl Siegen GmbH from Germany received subsidies that can be countervailed on forged steel fluid end blocks from January 1, 2023, through December 31, 2023.

The final determination will also establish future cash deposit requirements for countervailing duties.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. government found that a company in Germany got some unfair financial help (like a special allowance) to make steel blocks, and they're checking if this needs special taxes; they also found a different company didn't sell any of these blocks during the year, so they're not looking at them anymore.
