The Department of Commerce has determined that two companies in China, Carbon Activated Tianjin Co., Ltd. and Datong Juqiang Activated Carbon Co., Ltd., sold activated carbon in the U.S. at prices below normal value during 2018-2019. As a result, these companies, along with others eligible for separate rates, will face adjusted antidumping duties. The agency confirmed which companies did not ship any goods during this period and reassigned some to the China-wide entity for duty assessment. The review concluded with updated cash deposit requirements for future shipments to ensure proper duties are collected.
Simple Explanation
The government found that two companies from China sold a product called activated carbon to America at cheaper prices than they should have during a specific time. Because of this, they now have to pay extra money, called duties, to make up for that, and other companies have to follow new rules to ensure proper payment in the future.
