The U.S. Department of Commerce made a correction to its preliminary determination regarding thermoformed molded fiber products from Vietnam, which was originally published on March 14, 2025, in the Federal Register. This correction involves an error in Appendix I, detailing the scope of the investigation into these products. Thermoformed molded fiber products, which include items like plates and trays derived from cellulose fibers, are being investigated for countervailing duties. The corrected version of Appendix I now provides an accurate description of the products included in this investigation.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has made a preliminary decision regarding certain low speed personal transportation vehicles from China, determining they are likely being sold in the U.S. at less-than-fair-value (LTFV). The investigation covers sales from October 2023 to March 2024, and comments from interested parties are welcomed. The department will require cash deposits from importers to offset the unfair pricing and has identified that "critical circumstances" exist for these imports, meaning there could be significant harm to U.S. industry if these goods continue to flow into the country under current pricing. The final determination on this matter has been postponed, with provisional measures extended to ensure all relevant data is considered before a final decision is made.
