This final decision is part of an investigation that goes back to January 1, 2019, and covers substances like tolyltriazole and benzotriazole. The investigation will proceed into whether these imports injure or threaten U.S. industries, with potential consequences including duties on imports. The findings are available in public documents for further review.

The U.S. Department of Commerce is ending a review of countervailing duties on ceramic tiles from China for 2023, because there were no qualifying entries by the company in question. An earlier request to evaluate the exporter, Cayenne Corporation Ltd., was made, but it was found that there were no ceramic tiles imported from them during the review period. As a result, the current cash deposit rates for duties will remain unchanged. This decision was made because there were no goods to assess during the review period, so the review is being fully rescinded.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has delayed making a preliminary decision in its investigation of imports of thermoformed molded fiber products from China and Vietnam.

The preliminary decision was originally due by January 2, 2025, but has been extended to March 7, 2025, after a request was made by the petitioners to allow more time to analyze information and respond to questionnaires. The final decision will be made 75 days after the preliminary determination is issued.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has concluded an expedited review and determined that if the antidumping duty on vertical metal file cabinets imported from China is revoked, it could lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping at significant rates, with margins up to 198.50 percent.

The full analysis can be accessed via the Commerce Department's electronic system.

The Department of Commerce conducted a review and determined that if they revoke the countervailing duty order on melamine from China, it will likely result in the continuation or recurrence of subsidies.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has made a preliminary decision regarding certain low speed personal transportation vehicles from China, determining they are likely being sold in the U.S. at less-than-fair-value (LTFV). The investigation covers sales from October 2023 to March 2024, and comments from interested parties are welcomed. The department will require cash deposits from importers to offset the unfair pricing and has identified that "critical circumstances" exist for these imports, meaning there could be significant harm to U.S. industry if these goods continue to flow into the country under current pricing. The final determination on this matter has been postponed, with provisional measures extended to ensure all relevant data is considered before a final decision is made.

The Department of Commerce has preliminarily determined that 24 exporters of hardwood plywood from China had no shipments of the goods in question between January 1, 2019, and December 31, 2019.

This preliminary finding means that certain companies are not eligible for separate rates and are subject to the China-wide rate of 183.36%. Public comments on these preliminary results can be submitted, and antidumping duties will be assessed once the final results are published.
