The U.S. Department of Commerce and the International Trade Commission (ITC) have decided to continue imposing antidumping and countervailing duties on laminated woven sacks from China. This decision was made because removing these duties could lead to lower prices through unfair practices and hurt U.S. industries. Laminated woven sacks are made of polypropylene or polyethylene and are often used for packaging consumer goods like pet food. The continuation of these orders means that extra charges will still apply when these sacks are imported into the U.S. to ensure fair competition.

The Department of Commerce's International Trade Administration is preparing to conduct sunset reviews in February 2025 to assess whether revoking certain trade duties or terminating certain suspended investigations would likely result in continued unfair practices or harm to U.S. industries.

The document outlines procedures and deadlines for interested parties wishing to participate, including submitting substantive comments and executive summaries. This notice serves to inform the international trading community and is not mandated by law.

The Department of Commerce has determined that silicon metal imports from Bosnia and Iceland are being sold in the U.S. at unfairly low prices. They confirmed that critical circumstances exist for silicon metal from Iceland, meaning there may be immediate harm to U.S. industries. As a result, U.S. Customs will continue to hold off on processing these imports and require a deposit to cover potential anti-dumping duties. The International Trade Commission will soon decide if U.S. industries are being harmed, which might lead to the imposition of extra duties on these imports.

The U.S. Department of Commerce determined that certain producers and exporters from Japan sold nickel-plated steel products in the U.S. at prices lower than usual between May 1, 2022, and April 30, 2023.

The department has made changes to the dumping margin calculations for Toyo Kohan, a Japanese company, and has set new cash deposit rates beginning December 3, 2024. The public can access detailed information on these findings via the Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS).

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.

The United States International Trade Commission has announced that it will conduct full reviews to assess if lifting antidumping duties on acetone from Belgium, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, and Spain could lead to material harm to domestic industries.

Although responses from some countries like Belgium, South Korea, and Singapore were inadequate, the Commission decided to review all countries' cases for administrative efficiency. A schedule for these reviews will be announced later.

Additionally, materials imported by Mohawk from China also fall outside the scope of their respective AD/CVD orders. Interested parties can comment on the completeness of this list by contacting the Deputy Assistant Secretary for AD/CVD Operations.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has found that certain glass wine bottles imported from Mexico were sold in the United States at prices below their fair value between October 1, 2022, and September 30, 2023. As a result, the department will maintain measures that prevent such sales practices, including the continuation of the suspension of the merchandise's liquidation and the requirement for cash deposits to offset potential dumping. The International Trade Commission will soon determine whether these imports caused material harm to the U.S. industry, which could lead to the imposition of additional antidumping duties. The final scope of the investigation includes only certain types of glass bottles as specified in the document.
