The U.S. Department of Commerce has announced a correction to its previous decision regarding the antidumping duty order on stainless steel bar from India. On January 28, 2021, the U.S. Court of International Trade ruled that the original decision was incorrect, prompting Commerce to amend its results. Despite this change, the revised antidumping duty margin for the company Venus Wire Industries remains above the minimum threshold, meaning they will stay included in the antidumping duty order. Commerce will not issue new cash deposit instructions as Venus had already been subjected to another review that established a new rate.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has decided that dioctyl terephthalate (DOTP) from Poland is being sold in the U.S. at prices lower than their fair value. This conclusion follows their preliminary decision from November 5, 2024, which was unchanged due to no new comments from interested parties. The investigation covers DOTP imports from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023. Customs will continue to require cash deposits on DOTP imports from Poland to ensure fair pricing, and the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) will determine within 45 days whether these imports injure U.S. industry.

The U.S. Department of Commerce is ending its review of the antidumping order on oil country tubular goods from China for the period of May 1, 2023, to April 30, 2024. This decision is due to the absence of suspended entries for the two companies involved, meaning there were no items to evaluate for duties. As a result, the current cash deposit rates for these goods will stay the same. Commerce plans to notify Customs and Border Protection to assess duties according to estimated deposit rates previously set.

The Department of Commerce has issued a countervailing duty order on prestressed concrete steel wire strand (PC strand) from Turkey. This decision is based on positive determinations by the Department and the International Trade Commission that these subsidized imports harm U.S. industry. Consequently, countervailing duties will be imposed on certain imports entering the United States from September 21, 2020. Cash deposits will be required to enforce these duties until further notice, with specific provisions for provisional measures.

The U.S. Department of Commerce, along with the International Trade Commission, has decided to impose antidumping duties on frozen warmwater shrimp imported from Indonesia. Additionally, they have issued countervailing duties on similar shrimp imported from Ecuador, India, and Vietnam.

Orders are effective from specific dates, with measures to ensure compliance through customs and border protection enforcement.

The Department of Commerce has found that Shanghai Sunbeauty Trading Co., Ltd. did not make a genuine sale during the review period, leading them to preliminarily decide to cancel the new shipper review of antidumping duties on mattresses from China. This decision was based on factors like sale price and quantity. Interested parties can comment on this preliminary decision by submitting briefs, and the final results of the review are expected within 90 days from this preliminary notice. If the review is finally rescinded, the relevant entries will be liquidated at the China-wide rate.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has determined that ferrosilicon imports from Brazil are being sold in the U.S. at less than fair value. As a result, the department is imposing antidumping duties on these imports to protect domestic industries. Two companies were investigated: Ferbasa, which received a dumping margin of 13.66%, and Minasligas, with a margin considered too small to warrant measures. The company LIASA was assigned a margin based on adverse facts, leading to a higher rate of 21.78%. The continued suspension of liquidation on these imports will remain in effect, and the case is now proceeding to the U.S. International Trade Commission to determine if the imports have caused injury to U.S. industries. If the ITC finds injury, antidumping duties will be enforced.

The Department of Commerce is reviewing an antidumping duty order on certain lined paper products from India for the period from September 2018 to August 2019. They found that the companies Navneet Education Ltd. and Super Impex did not sell the products below normal value during this time. The review determined that some companies listed had no shipments during the period, and others would follow the zero-duty rate calculated for Navneet and Super Impex. Commerce invites comments on these preliminary findings and will disclose calculations to parties involved.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has completed its review of silicon metal imports from Malaysia for the period of August 1, 2022, to July 31, 2023, and determined that these imports were not sold below their normal value in the U.S. market during this time. As a result, PMB Silicon, a Malaysian company, will not face additional antidumping duties, and the relevant U.S. imports will be processed without these extra charges. The customs deposit rate will remain at 12.27% for companies not specifically covered in the review. Importers are reminded to comply with regulatory requirements to avoid penalties.
