The U.S. Department of Commerce has decided to cancel the administrative review of a rule related to antidumping duties on certain stainless steel plates from Taiwan for the review period of May 1, 2023, to April 30, 2024. This decision was made because there were no entries of the subject merchandise from Taiwan during this period that required review. As there were no entries to review, Commerce will not change the antidumping duties, and they will remain as initially deposited. The cancellation of this review was published on January 13, 2025.

The U.S. Department of Commerce and the International Trade Commission have decided to continue existing antidumping and countervailing duty orders on raw flexible magnets from China and Taiwan. These orders are in place to prevent unfair pricing and subsidies that harm U.S. industries.

Therefore, the orders will remain in effect, with Customs and Border Protection continuing to enforce them.

Interested parties can comment on this decision, and further investigations will ensure fair trade practices.

The new cash deposit rates will be effective immediately for specified shipments, and importers are reminded of their duties under U.S. regulations.

This decision means they will face antidumping duties, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection will assess these duties according to the final results. New cash deposit rates will apply based on the outcome of this review.

The reviews included input from domestic interested parties but no significant responses from importers or foreign producers were received. Commerce's findings are detailed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, which is publicly accessible online.

This amendment requires a specific license for any exports, reexports, or in-country transfers involving these entities, with a general policy of denying these licenses. The rule became effective on March 25, 2025.
