The U.S. Department of Commerce has decided to cancel the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on ceramic tiles imported from China for the period from June 1, 2023, to May 31, 2024. This decision was made because there were no entries of tile imports from the companies under review that could be assessed during this time. As a result of the cancellation, antidumping duties will still be applied based on the required cash deposit rates at the time of the imports. The Commerce Department will instruct customs on handling these duties accordingly.

The Department of Commerce has postponed the preliminary determination for a countervailing duty investigation on imports of temporary steel fencing from China. This delay, requested by the petitioner ZND US Inc. and granted because of the investigation's complexity, moves the deadline from April 10, 2025, to June 16, 2025. This adjustment complies with regulatory guidelines and allows for a more thorough analysis of the subsidy programs involved. The final determination is still due 75 days after the new preliminary determination date.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has issued a notice to continue the antidumping duty order on steel wire garment hangers imported from China.

The order's continuation is effective from January 31, 2025, and is subject to a review every five years to decide if it still needs to be in place.

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. An expedited review took place because Commerce did not receive adequate responses from the involved parties in China.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has determined that wood mouldings and millwork products imported from China are being sold in the U.S. at unfairly low prices. This means these products are sold at less than their fair market value, negatively affecting U.S. businesses. As a result, certain Chinese companies will face dumping margins, including a high rate for companies that didn't fully cooperate with the investigation. U.S. Customs will continue to hold some of these imports and require deposits to match the difference between normal and dumped prices until further notice.

The U.S. Department of Commerce determined that aluminum wire and cable (AWC) products completed in South Korea, using components made in China, are circumventing the existing antidumping and countervailing duty orders on AWC from China. As a result, these Korean products are being included in these orders, which are meant to protect U.S. producers from unfair competition due to underpriced imports. Importers and exporters must provide certifications to Customs and Border Protection if they want to avoid the suspension of their goods and additional duties, ensuring that their products do not contain components from China. These measures apply from October 19, 2023, onwards, to all affected products.

As a result, U.S. Customs will continue collecting duties on these imports to maintain fair market conditions.

In the original notice published on February 21, 2025, the certifications for importers and exporters contained three errors. The department has now provided corrected text for these certifications, specifying the procedures for submission and verification by the relevant agencies.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has preliminarily determined that imports of monosodium glutamate (MSG) from Malaysia, made using glutamic acid from China, are circumventing antidumping duties on MSG from China. As a result, they have decided to suspend liquidation and require cash deposits for these imports. Importers and exporters must submit certifications demonstrating that MSG from Malaysia does not use Chinese glutamic acid to avoid these duties. Public comments and requests for a hearing are invited, and the findings will be verified before a final decision is made.

The Department of Commerce has preliminarily determined that metal lockers from China are being sold in the United States at prices lower than fair value.

Furthermore, interested parties are invited to provide comments on this determination before it becomes final, and the final decision may be postponed by up to six months if requested by key exporters.
