The U.S. Department of Commerce released a correction to a previous notice about the results of a 2022 review related to countervailing duties on wooden cabinets from China. The original notice, published on November 12, 2024, did not list the companies associated with The Ancientree Cabinet Co., Ltd. The correction clarifies that Jiangsu Hongjia Wood Co., Ltd., its Shanghai Branch, and Jiangsu Yunru Technology Industry Co., Ltd. are cross-owned with Ancientree. This update ensures accurate representation of the involved parties in the trade compliance document.

The analysis and findings were detailed in an Issues and Decision Memorandum, and the final results were published on March 7, 2025.

The U.S. Department of Commerce issued a correction to a previous rule on antidumping and countervailing duties that had mistakenly removed important sections from the regulations. This correction restores the deleted sections, fixes a punctuation error, and amends a misspelled word. The changes are effective immediately to prevent public confusion, as the original amendments were never intended to alter these parts of the regulations. The Department had initially provided an opportunity for public comment, and since the corrections do not involve substantive changes, additional comments are not needed.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has completed an expedited review of antidumping duty orders on uncovered innerspring units from China, Vietnam, and South Africa.

The review process involved no substantive responses from the interested parties in these countries, leading the department to uphold the orders.

The Department of Commerce determined that Fedmet Resources Corporation did not ship any magnesia carbon bricks from China to the United States during the review period of September 1, 2018, to August 31, 2019. Additionally, sixteen other companies involved in the review are considered part of the China-wide entity because they failed to submit necessary documents but were not reviewed as such. The current rate for the China-wide entity is 236.00 percent, which remains unchanged. The required cash deposit rates for future shipments from Chinese exporters will be based on this rate and other specific conditions mentioned.

The U.S. Department of Commerce determined that narrow woven ribbons with woven selvedge from Taiwan were sold at prices lower than normal in the U.S. during the review period from September 1, 2022, to August 31, 2023. Since no parties commented on the preliminary findings, Commerce finalized the results without changes, relying on adverse facts available for two Taiwanese companies, Hao Shyang and Lung Che. This decision means they will face antidumping duties, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection will assess these duties according to the final results. New cash deposit rates will apply based on the outcome of this review.

Importers must still comply with filing requirements related to antidumping duties, but the companies will not face any additional tariffs during this period. These findings were published without any changes from the preliminary results earlier in the process.

The International Trade Administration of the Commerce Department issued a decision regarding the University of Chicago's application to import a scientific instrument, specifically a Fiber Laser Amplifier from China, duty-free.

The regulation requires denial of applications if they are not resubmitted within a certain timeframe after being denied without prejudice, which was applicable here. The decision was signed by Gregory W. Campbell, Director of Subsidies and Economic Analysis.
