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.

The policy change applies only to goods not originating from Canada and Mexico, as they were already exempt from the 15-day rule.

The U.S. Department of Commerce completed its review and found that Kumar Industries in India received unfair financial assistance from the government, which helped it export glycine to the U.S. at a lower cost.

The review covered the period from January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2022, and the results will be published in the Federal Register, being effective from December 2, 2024.
