The United States International Trade Commission announced that it is conducting expedited reviews to determine if removing the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on carbon and alloy steel threaded rods from China, India, Taiwan, and Thailand would likely cause harm to the U.S. industry. The Commission has decided to carry out these reviews quickly, as the domestic party response was deemed adequate while the foreign party response was not. Interested parties can submit written comments, but they must adhere to specific guidelines and deadlines. Due to the complexity of these reviews, the Commission may extend the review period by up to 90 days.

The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) has revised the Export Administration Regulations by adding 13 entities to the Entity List, which includes organizations acting against the national security interests of the U.S., from countries like Burma, China, and Pakistan. This amendment primarily targets entities tied to military modernization and human rights abuses. As a consequence, these entities now have stricter requirements for licenses on exports and transfers. Additionally, the rule corrects minor errors and offers transitional provisions for items already in transit.

The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) has issued a notice concerning antidumping duty investigations on glass wine bottles imported from China and Mexico. After final determinations by the Department of Commerce that such bottles were being unfairly priced, the USITC is moving forward with a supplemental schedule for its investigations. Interested parties may submit final comments on these determinations by January 13, 2025, with replies due by January 17, 2025. The process will be conducted electronically via the Commission's online system, and no paper submissions will be accepted.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has determined that disposable aluminum containers, pans, trays, and lids from China are being sold in the U.S. at less than fair value. This investigation covers sales from October 1, 2023, to March 31, 2024. Commerce will continue to apply cash deposit requirements for these imports and has affirmed critical circumstances exist, meaning past entries from as early as October 1, 2024, remain affected. The U.S. International Trade Commission will decide if these sales have injured the U.S. industry within 45 days of this determination.

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.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has decided to continue the antidumping duty orders on uncovered innerspring units from China, Vietnam, and South Africa. This decision was made because canceling these orders could lead to more dumping—where products are sold at unfairly low prices—and damage to U.S. industries. The order ensures that certain taxes are still collected when importing these products. The continuation is effective from April 3, 2025.

The United States International Trade Commission has announced the scheduling of the final phase of its investigation into antidumping and countervailing duties on walk-behind lawn mowers from China and Vietnam. This investigation, which stems from petitions by MTD Products Inc., aims to determine if the U.S. industry is harmed by these imports being sold at unfairly low prices. It also examines if Chinese mowers are receiving government subsidies. Hearings and written submissions are planned, with a final decision expected by mid-2021.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has determined that revoking the countervailing duty orders on carbon and alloy steel threaded rods from India and China would likely result in ongoing subsidies and harm to the U.S. industry. Therefore, the Department of Commerce will continue these orders. This decision follows a review process that did not receive adequate responses from China, India, or any respondents, leading to an expedited review. Further details and analysis can be found in the Issues and Decision Memorandum accessible online.

The U.S. Department of Commerce and the International Trade Commission have decided that ending the existing antidumping and countervailing duty orders on steel wheels from China could cause economic harm due to unfair pricing and subsidies. As a result, they have chosen to continue these orders to protect the U.S. industry. These orders apply to certain steel wheels used on road and highway trailers, encompassing a wide range of specifications except those specifically excluded. They will continue to be enforced as of March 13, 2025, to maintain fair competition.

The President issued Executive Order 14228, amending a previous order (Executive Order 14195) to increase tariffs on products from China from 10% to 20%. This decision was made because the Chinese government has not taken adequate steps to address the inflow of synthetic opioids, like fentanyl, which poses a threat to U.S. national security and economy. The order underscores that it is consistent with applicable law and does not confer any new rights enforceable at law.
