The U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) has made a decision that is not in line with the Department of Commerce's original findings regarding antidumping duties on welded line pipe from South Korea, specifically for the companies Hyundai Steel, SeAH Steel Corporation, and others.

The CIT's decision includes changes to how certain sales and costs were calculated in response to appeals and takes effect from January 14, 2021.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has completed the first expedited sunset reviews of antidumping duty orders on acetone from Belgium, Korea, Singapore, South Africa, and Spain.

These results suggest that the antidumping duties should remain in place to prevent unfair pricing practices from these countries. The document provides details about the review process and the findings related to the likelihood of future dumping.
