The U.S. Department of Commerce conducted an expedited review of an antidumping duty order on certain malleable cast iron pipe fittings from China. The review concluded that removing the order would likely result in the continuation or recurrence of unfair pricing practices, with potential dumping margins up to 111.36 percent. This decision was made because there were no substantial responses from interested parties representing Chinese producers. The outcome ensures the continuation of the order to protect domestic industries from unfairly priced imports.

The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is hosting a virtual public briefing on December 5, 2024, to discuss two new rules posted for public inspection.

The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) has issued a new rule adding 16 entities to the Entity List because they are involved in activities against U.S. national security or foreign policy interests.

As a result, they are now subject to additional licensing requirements for exporting, reexporting, or transferring items covered by U.S. regulations. This rule is effective from January 16, 2025, and was enacted without a prior proposal due to its relevance to national security.

However, they found that these imports are circumventions of those orders.
