The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) announced a change in the schedule for its investigations regarding float glass products from China and Malaysia. This adjustment is due to the Department of Commerce extending its decision-making deadline to December 31, 2024. As a result, the USITC must make preliminary determinations by January 27, 2025, and share their conclusions with the Department of Commerce by February 3, 2025. These investigations are being conducted under the authority of the Tariff Act of 1930.

The United States International Trade Commission (ITC) has determined that there's a reasonable indication that an industry in the U.S. is being harmed by float glass products imported from China and Malaysia at prices less than fair value. These products are also allegedly subsidized by their respective governments. As a result, the ITC has initiated the final phase of investigations into these imports. These investigations began after Vitro Flat Glass, LLC filed petitions in November 2024 claiming injury to the U.S. industry from these imports.

The U.S. Department of Commerce is making changes to its initial decision involving the investigation of solar cells from Malaysia, which found that they were being sold in the U.S. at less than fair value. Corrections are being made due to big mistakes in how the initial calculations were done, particularly involving currency conversion and customer codes for a company called Jinko Solar. These errors lead to changes in the estimated dumping margins, which affect the cash deposit requirements for Jinko Solar and other companies. The amended rates will be applied retroactively to early December 2024.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has preliminarily determined that crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells from Malaysia are being sold in the U.S. at prices lower than their fair value. This investigation covers the period from April 1, 2023, to March 31, 2024. As a result, the Commerce Department plans to implement duties on these imports to counteract the underpricing, although some products, such as those produced by Hanwha Q Cells, might be exempt from these measures due to their zero dumping margin. The public and interested parties are invited to submit comments on this preliminary decision.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has determined that ferrosilicon imports from Malaysia are being sold at less than fair value in the U.S. between January 1, 2023, and December 31, 2023. Despite this, they found no critical circumstances, meaning no urgent action is needed regarding these imports. The determination involves specific companies like OM Materials (Sarawak) Sdn. Bhd. and Pertama Ferroalloys Sdn. Bhd, for which the agency adjusted the cash deposit rates based on their dumping margins. The U.S. International Trade Commission will follow up with its own investigation to assess potential harm to the U.S. domestic industry.

The Department of Commerce has determined that silicon metal from Malaysia is being sold in the United States at prices lower than its fair value, based on an investigation covering the period from April 1, 2019, to March 31, 2020. As a result, the Commerce Department plans to suspend imports of silicon metal from Malaysia and require deposits equal to the estimated dumping margins. The investigation is to establish whether these imports harm or threaten the U.S. industry, with parties encouraged to comment on the findings. The final decision is postponed to allow further review and verification of the information used in this preliminary determination.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has completed its review of silicon metal imports from Malaysia for the period of August 1, 2022, to July 31, 2023, and determined that these imports were not sold below their normal value in the U.S. market during this time. As a result, PMB Silicon, a Malaysian company, will not face additional antidumping duties, and the relevant U.S. imports will be processed without these extra charges. The customs deposit rate will remain at 12.27% for companies not specifically covered in the review. Importers are reminded to comply with regulatory requirements to avoid penalties.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has determined that some producers and exporters of ferrosilicon from Malaysia receive government subsidies, which are illegal under U.S. trade law. The investigation looked at the period from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023, and involved verifying information from Malaysian companies. Although critical circumstances were found for most producers, they were not found for two major companies, OM Materials and Pertama. If the U.S. International Trade Commission finds that U.S. industries are harmed by these imports, a countervailing duty order will be issued to impose duties on the subsidized products.

The United States International Trade Commission announced the cancellation of a public hearing for the antidumping duty investigations related to Dioctyl Terephthalate (DOTP) from Malaysia, Poland, Taiwan, and Turkey. The hearing was scheduled for March 25, 2025, but the request to cancel was made by Eastman Chemical Company and BASF Corporation. Both companies have withdrawn their requests to appear at the hearing and have agreed to answer any questions from the Commission in writing. The companies involved are expected to respond to written questions in their post-hearing briefs by April 1, 2025.

The U.S. Department of Commerce concluded that prestressed concrete steel wire strand (PC strand) from Malaysia was sold at prices below normal value in the U.S. from June 2022 to May 2023. The review found that two Malaysian companies, Kiswire and Wei Dat, had dumping margins of 0% and 0.73%, respectively, and set the assessment rates and cash deposit requirements accordingly. Commerce also partially rescinded the review for Southern Steel Sdn. Bhd., as there were no reviewable entries for that company. The final results and administrative details are available on the Federal Register and related government platforms.
