    The U.S. Department of Commerce conducted an expedited sunset review and found that if the antidumping duty order on circular welded carbon-quality steel line pipe from China were revoked, dumping would likely continue or recur at rates up to 101.10 percent. The review involved participation from the American Line Pipe Producers Association, but no substantive responses were received from any respondents. As a result, the antidumping duty will remain in place to prevent dumping. This decision ensures a fair market for domestic producers of similar products.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. Department of Commerce checked if lifting some rules could let China sell certain steel pipes too cheaply in the U.S., and they decided that if the rules were removed, unfairly cheap selling would probably keep happening, so the rules will stay to help American pipe makers.

    The U.S. Department of Commerce has completed an expedited review of the countervailing duty (CVD) order on steel wheels from China, which are 12 to 16.5 inches in diameter. They found that removing this order would likely result in the continuation or recurrence of subsidies that are unfair to U.S. producers. This decision is part of the sunset review process, which revisits such orders to decide if they should be continued. The Commerce Department did not receive any significant responses from Chinese manufacturers, leading to this expedited review and conclusion.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. says that if they stop a special rule that makes certain small steel wheels from China more expensive to sell in America, it might be unfair for American wheel makers because China could keep getting help to make these wheels cheaper.

    The U.S. Department of Commerce has decided that getting rid of the existing countervailing duty (CVD) order on steel racks from China might lead to the return of government subsidies that help Chinese manufacturers at unfair levels. This conclusion comes after an expedited review, due to a lack of participation from Chinese respondents. The review examines whether subsidies would likely continue if the duty order were revoked, and it found that such subsidies would likely recur. The findings and related discussions are detailed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, which is available for public access online.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. government says if they stop charging extra money when people buy steel shelves from China, it might make things unfair because China's government might help their factories too much.

The results and this notice were published on February 25, 2021, with further details available in public documents.

    Simple Explanation

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. Department of Commerce conducted a review and decided not to lift the antidumping duty on certain steel wheels from China because it would likely lead to the continuation of unfair pricing, known as dumping. The review found that without the duty, the dumping margins could reach as high as 44.35%. This decision follows a lack of response from other interested parties and the participation of the Dexstar Wheel Division of Americana Development, a U.S. producer. The final results of this expedited review have been documented and published accordingly.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. Department of Commerce decided to keep extra fees on certain small steel wheels from China because they think taking them away might make prices unfairly low again. This decision was made quickly, without lots of opinions from others, to stop these cheap wheels from hurting local businesses.
