The final results were published, affirming the continuation of these duties to prevent unfair trade practices.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has overturned previous decisions from the U.S. Court of International Trade regarding aluminum door thresholds from China.

This decision means that the Department of Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to continue holding the thresholds until further instructions are given. Additionally, the cash deposit rates for these items will be determined by the rates applicable to similar products from China.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has made amendments to the final results of a review concerning certain activated carbon imports from China, addressing and correcting some calculation errors. These errors led to changes in dumping margins for the involved companies, with affected companies now charged slightly lower duties on the import of these goods. New cash deposit and assessment rate requirements are established, which apply to future imports, and will remain in effect until further notice. Additionally, importers are reminded of their responsibility to comply with regulations regarding antidumping duties and protective orders.

The Department of Commerce has determined that producers and exporters from China are receiving countervailable subsidies for corrosion inhibitors, meaning the subsidies unfairly aid these companies and could harm U.S. competition. 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 Department of Commerce has issued a countervailing duty order on wood mouldings and millwork products from China due to the determination that these subsidized imports harm an industry in the United States. As of February 16, 2021, U.S. Customs and Border Protection is instructed to assess duties on these products for entries made after June 12, 2020, but not between October 10, 2020, and the publication date of the final determination, due to a suspension lapse. The order covers various wood products, except specific exclusions like certain furnishings and products already subject to other countervailing duty orders.

The Department of Commerce has determined that certain corrosion inhibitors imported from China are being sold in the United States at prices less than their fair value. The investigation into this issue covered the period from July 1, 2019, to December 31, 2019. As a result of this finding, the U.S. will continue to suspend the liquidation of relevant imports and require cash deposits to cover the difference between normal value and U.S. sale prices. The final determination relies on adverse facts available for some Chinese entities that did not fully cooperate with the investigation, resulting in significant dumping margins.

The determination involves calculating duties based on differences between normal value and U.S. prices, and further details can be found in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. The final decision may be postponed up to 135 days after this preliminary determination if requested by significant exporters, allowing for an extension of provisional measures.
