The U.S. Department of Commerce has completed the first expedited sunset reviews of antidumping duty orders on acetone from Belgium, Korea, Singapore, South Africa, and Spain. The review determined that revoking these orders would likely result in continued or repeated dumping of acetone at significant margins, with percentages as high as 414.92% for South Africa. These results suggest that the antidumping duties should remain in place to prevent unfair pricing practices from these countries. The document provides details about the review process and the findings related to the likelihood of future dumping.
Simple Explanation
The U.S. Department of Commerce checked if stopping special rules on selling a chemical called acetone from five countries would make them sell it too cheaply in the U.S. again. They decided to keep the rules in place to stop unfairly low prices.
