The U.S. Department of Commerce has released the final results of its review regarding subsidies given to Tianjin Hweschun Fasteners Manufacturing Co., Ltd., a company in China that exports steel staples. Commerce found that these subsidies, which were available during 2022, could impact the pricing and competitiveness of these goods entering the U.S. Customs and Border Protection will assess duties on these imports at rates determined by Commerce, and these duties will include additional cash deposit requirements for future imports. The decision and supporting details are public and available through their online systems.
Simple Explanation
The U.S. government checked if a Chinese company got unfair help, called subsidies, to make their steel staples cheaper to sell in the U.S., and they found that they did, so now the company has to pay extra money when selling these staples here.
