    The U.S. Department of Commerce has determined that ferrosilicon imports from Brazil are being sold in the U.S. at less than fair value. As a result, the department is imposing antidumping duties on these imports to protect domestic industries. Two companies were investigated: Ferbasa, which received a dumping margin of 13.66%, and Minasligas, with a margin considered too small to warrant measures. The company LIASA was assigned a margin based on adverse facts, leading to a higher rate of 21.78%. The continued suspension of liquidation on these imports will remain in effect, and the case is now proceeding to the U.S. International Trade Commission to determine if the imports have caused injury to U.S. industries. If the ITC finds injury, antidumping duties will be enforced.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. government found that some shiny stuff called ferrosilicon from Brazil is being sold too cheaply in America, which isn't fair to local makers, so they are adding extra costs called duties to some of it to make it fair again.

    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.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. government found that some wood products from China are being sold in America for less money than they're worth, which isn't fair to American companies. So now, they'll make sure these imports match their real value by having the companies pay extra money.

    The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) concluded that the U.S. industry is not harmed by the imports of 4th tier cigarettes from Korea, even though they have been sold at less than fair value. This investigation began after a petition was filed by the Coalition Against Korean Cigarettes in December 2019. The final phase of the investigation included a public hearing conducted via video conference due to COVID-19 restrictions. The Commission's decision and detailed views are documented in USITC Publication 5151, issued on January 25, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    The US International Trade Commission looked into cigarettes from Korea and decided they are not hurting the American industry, even though they were sold for less money than they were worth. Some members of the Commission did not agree, but the document doesn’t explain why.

    The U.S. Department of Commerce announced a final decision that paper plates from Vietnam are being sold in the U.S. at unfairly low prices. This decision applies for sales between July and December 2023. The Department found that, while most Vietnamese producers are affected, Go-Pak Vietnam is an exception and not subject to critical circumstances. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection will collect deposits from importers for anticipated antidumping duties to ensure fair competition.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. government found out that some companies in Vietnam are selling paper plates in America for super cheap prices that aren’t fair to those who make plates in America, so they will have to pay extra money to make it even. But one company, Go-Pak Vietnam, played fair and won't have to pay more.

    The U.S. Department of Commerce has issued a final determination that melamine from Germany is being sold in the U.S. for less than fair value, which is considered dumping. Due to a lack of participation from LAT Nitrogen Piesteritz GmbH, the main respondent, the Department used adverse facts available to set a high dumping margin of 179.24% for other producers. This decision mirrors an earlier preliminary determination. If the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) finds that this dumping harms the domestic industry, antidumping duties will be applied to future imports.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. says that special powder from Germany called melamine is being sold in America for really low prices, which isn't fair to American companies. If this hurts American businesses, extra taxes might be added to future sales of this powder.

    The U.S. Department of Commerce issued a notice correcting a previous announcement about the antidumping duty on softwood lumber from Canada.

This correction was officially published in the Federal Register to ensure accuracy in the administrative review results.

    Simple Explanation

    The government made a mistake when they told everyone what tax rate companies would pay for selling certain wood from Canada too cheaply. They first said it was 6.58%, but it's actually 6.04%.

    The U.S. Department of Commerce has preliminarily determined that certain corrosion-resistant steel products from Canada are being sold in the United States at less than fair value. This investigation covers the period from July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. Department of Commerce thinks that some special kinds of steel from Canada are being sold in the U.S. for less money than usual, so they will pause these sales to check if that's true. People who know about this can say what they think to help decide what happens next.
