The U.S. Department of Commerce announced a partial cancellation of the antidumping duty order on certain frozen fish fillets from Vietnam, specifically for Vinh Hoan Corporation. This change comes after a January 17, 2025, agreement between the U.S. and Vietnam to resolve a dispute at the World Trade Organization. The revocation applies to fish produced and exported by Vinh Hoan from August 1, 2021, onwards, meaning these products won't incur antidumping duties and past entries will be processed without those duties. The decision ends further administrative reviews for these specific goods in future periods.

Interested parties can find more information and participate in the proceedings through the Commerce Department's online systems.

The Department of Commerce has determined that the chemical difluoromethane (R-32) from China is being sold in the U.S. at unfairly low prices. The investigation covered sales from mid-2019 to the end of that year. As a result, certain Chinese companies face high duties on their products when they enter the U.S. The department will continue to monitor and instruct customs officials to impose cash deposits based on calculated dumping margins until further notice.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has preliminarily found that large top mount combination refrigerator-freezers from Thailand are likely being sold in the U.S. at less than fair value. The investigation covers the period from April 1, 2023, to March 31, 2024, and this initial decision could lead to the imposition of duties on these products to offset the unfair pricing. Interested parties are encouraged to provide their comments regarding this preliminary determination. Additionally, Commerce plans to postpone the final determination and extend provisional measures following a request from Toshiba.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is extending the comment period on the request for information about export lists for human food from other countries until February 21, 2025. This extension allows individuals and companies more time to provide input, especially regarding the potential fees for export certification services, which could affect businesses significantly. This decision follows requests for more time due to the overlap with the holiday season and the complexity of the proposed changes. Interested parties can submit comments electronically or via mail.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has released preliminary findings related to the sale of circular welded non-alloy steel pipe from South Korea. Between November 2022 and October 2023, some of this pipe was sold at prices below its normal value. The department identified one South Korean company that did not sell the pipe below its normal value during this period. They also calculated a small average dumping margin for Hyundai Steel and a higher margin for Husteel. Various other companies will have a margin based on Husteel's results. They are now seeking comments on these preliminary findings.

The United States International Trade Commission has decided that removing the antidumping and countervailing duties on steel trailer wheels from China is likely to cause harm to a U.S. industry. These reviews, begun in August 2024, were carried out quickly, and the Commission completed and filed its decisions on March 7, 2025. This determination was made under the guidelines of the Tariff Act of 1930 and is documented in USITC Publication 5596.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has completed its review of sales by Industeel Belgium S.A. during May 1, 2022, to April 30, 2023, and found that the company sold steel plates in the U.S. at prices below normal value. These findings result in an estimated weighted-average dumping margin for the company, which means they will have to pay antidumping duties on their products. The Commerce Department will disclose the calculations behind these results within five days of publication and will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection on how to assess these duties. The cash deposit rates for future shipments from Industeel and other producers will be adjusted based on these results.
