The Department of Commerce's International Trade Administration has postponed the preliminary determination in a countervailing duty (CVD) investigation of paper file folders from Cambodia. This delay is due to a request from the petitioner, the Coalition of Domestic Folder Manufacturers, who asked for more time to analyze responses and issue further questionnaires. Originally, the determination was due by January 16, 2025, but it has now been extended to no later than March 24, 2025. This extension allows Commerce to ensure a thorough investigation process.

The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) has started an investigation into antidumping concerns related to methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) imported from China. These imports are believed to be sold below fair market value, potentially harming U.S. industries. The investigation was prompted by a petition from the MDI Fair Trade Coalition and aims to determine if these imports cause material injury to U.S. industry. A preliminary determination must be made by March 31, 2025, with subsequent findings reported to the Department of Commerce by April 7, 2025.

The U.S. International Trade Commission has started an investigation based on a complaint from Credo Semiconductor Inc. and Credo Technology Group Ltd. The complaint, filed in March and amended in April 2025, alleges that certain companies are importing electrical cables into the U.S. that infringe on specific patents held by Credo. The companies named in the complaint include Amphenol Corporation, Molex, LLC, and TE Connectivity PLC. The Commission will explore whether these imports violate section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 and will potentially issue orders to halt their importation if patent infringements are confirmed.

The Department of Commerce has determined that removing the antidumping duty order on boltless steel shelving units from China is likely to result in continued or increased dumping. This conclusion comes from an expedited sunset review. The duty is meant to stop imported goods from being sold at lower prices than in their home market. The review found that if the order were revoked, dumping margins up to 112.68% might occur.

The International Trade Commission has begun reviewing whether to revoke duties on certain magnesia carbon bricks from China and Mexico. This review will determine if removing the duties would harm the U.S. industry. Interested parties must respond by February 3, 2021, providing requested information. The Commission will decide whether to conduct full or expedited reviews based on the adequacy of these responses.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has determined that revoking the antidumping duty order on welded large diameter line pipes from Japan would likely result in the continuation or recurrence of dumping. This could lead to dumping margins of up to 30.80 percent. The review process was expedited since there was no significant response from other interested parties apart from domestic manufacturers. This decision ensures that the antidumping duties remain in place to protect U.S. manufacturers from unfair trade practices.

The U.S. Department of Commerce completed an administrative review and determined that large diameter welded pipes from the Republic of Korea were not sold in the U.S. at unfairly low prices between May 2022 and April 2023. The review involved 23 Korean producers and exporters, and findings led to zero percent dumping margins, meaning no extra duties will be imposed. Changes based on comments received during the review were made, affecting companies like Hyundai Steel and SeAH. The document outlines procedures for cash deposits and informs importers of their obligations to certify against duty reimbursements.

The U.S. Department of Commerce announced that it is immediately ending its policy of issuing liquidation instructions for certain antidumping and countervailing duty cases 15 days after a final decision is published, if no statutory injunction is requested. This policy was initially put in place in 2002 to give Customs and Border Protection enough time to process these cases and avoid any automatic liquidations. The policy change applies only to goods not originating from Canada and Mexico, as they were already exempt from the 15-day rule.

A complaint was filed by Ventria Bioscience Inc. with the U.S. International Trade Commission alleging violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930. The complaint concerns the importation and sale of plant-derived recombinant human serum albumins (rHSA) and related products, which allegedly infringe upon certain U.S. patents and are falsely designated in origin. The U.S. International Trade Commission has initiated an investigation and will determine whether to issue exclusion and cease and desist orders against the respondents named in the complaint.

The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) has announced expedited reviews of antidumping duty orders on preserved mushrooms from Chile, China, India, and Indonesia.

Due to the complexity of the case, the review period was extended by up to 90 days.
