The Commerce Department published notices in the Federal Register Sept. 10 on the following AD/CV duty proceedings (any notices that announce changes to AD/CV duty rates, scope, affected firms or effective dates will be detailed in another ITT article):
Four domestic producers and a labor union recently filed petitions with the Commerce Department and the International Trade Commission requesting new antidumping duties on corrosion-resistant steel products from Australia, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, the Netherlands, South Africa, Taiwan, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates and Vietnam, as well as countervailing duties on the same product from Brazil, Canada, Mexico, and Vietnam. Commerce will now decide whether to begin AD/CVD investigations, which could result in the imposition of permanent AD/CVD orders and the assessment of AD and CVD on importers.
The Commerce Department said it's rescinding the administrative review of the countervailing duty order on certain non-refillable steel cylinders (non-refillable cylinders) from China (C-570-127) for the period of review Jan. 1, 2023, though Dec. 31, 2023, because there were no reviewable, suspended entries of subject merchandise for the company subject to the review -- Sanjian Kai Yuan Co., Ltd. -- during the review period. Commerce will instruct CBP to assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries, at rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated CVD required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, it said.
The following lawsuits were filed at the Court of International Trade during the weeks of Aug. 19-25, Aug. 26 - Sept. 1, Sept. 2-8:
