The Department of Commerce has preliminarily decided that the only company reviewed in this case, Puremann, Inc., is part of a larger Chinese entity because it didn't apply for a separate rate status. This review covers imports from April 1, 2019, to March 31, 2020. Commerce is inviting comments on these preliminary findings, and they note that the existing antidumping duty rate for the China-wide entity remains unchanged at 167.02%. The department has outlined procedures for public comments and potential hearings and plans to issue a final report within 120 days of these preliminary findings.
Simple Explanation
The Commerce Department checked if one company in China was following special rules for selling a product in the U.S., but found it didn't. So, they're treating it like it's part of a bigger group of companies in China that sell the same product with a higher tax rate, and they're asking people what they think about this decision.
