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. These thresholds, imported by Worldwide Door Components, Inc. and Columbia Aluminum Products, LLC, are now classified as subject to antidumping and countervailing duty orders. 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.
Simple Explanation
The U.S. court decided that some pieces used at the bottom of doors, called door thresholds, coming from China must follow certain price rules to make sure they're fair. This means these door parts will be checked carefully when they enter the U.S., and the right price rules for similar door parts will be used.
