The U.S. Department of Commerce announced that it is immediately ending its policy of issuing liquidation instructions for certain antidumping and countervailing duty cases 15 days after a final decision is published, if no statutory injunction is requested. This policy was initially put in place in 2002 to give Customs and Border Protection enough time to process these cases and avoid any automatic liquidations. The policy change applies only to goods not originating from Canada and Mexico, as they were already exempt from the 15-day rule.
Simple Explanation
The U.S. Department of Commerce is stopping a rule where, after deciding on tax cases related to goods from other countries, they would wait 15 days before telling customs what to do, unless there's a special request not to. This rule change doesn't affect goods from Canada and Mexico.
