The Commerce Department will now consider whether to impose AD/CVD cash deposit requirements on ceramic abrasive grains, in preliminary determinations due March 12 for CVD and on or about May 27 for AD.

The Commerce Department issued its final affirmative determinations in the antidumping and countervailing duty investigations on imports of paper plates from China, Thailand and Vietnam, it said in a fact sheet issued Jan. 22. Commerce set AD rates ranging from 267.63% to 515.4% for Chinese exporters; from 5.57% to 73.17% for Thai exporters; and from 30.42% to 165.27% for Vietnamese exporters, the agency said. Commerce set CVD rates ranging from 4.47% to 295.08% for Chinese exporters, and from 5.53% to 225.9% for Vietnamese exporters. Thailand was not subject to the CVD investigation. These rates will take effect upon publication in the Federal Register of the final determinations, which should occur in the coming days.
The Commerce Department is beginning new antidumping and countervailing duty investigations on slag pots from China, it said in a fact sheet Jan. 22. The underlying petition was filed in late December 2024 (see 2501030042). The International Trade Commission is scheduled to make its preliminary injury determinations by Feb. 14. These AD/CVD investigations will continue only if the ITC finds injury. International Trade Today will provide more details upon publication of the initiation notices in the Federal Register.
The Commerce Department said it's rescinding the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain chassis and subassemblies thereof from China (A-570-135) for the period of review July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2024, because there were no reviewable, suspended entries of subject merchandise during the review period for any of the companies for which the review had been requested. The Coalition of American Chassis Manufacturers had requested the administrative review cover four exporters -- CIMC Vehicles (Group) Co., Ltd.; Dongguan CIMC Vehicles Co., Ltd.; Qingdao CIMC Special Vehicles Co., Ltd; and SinoTrailers. Commerce will instruct CBP to assess AD on all appropriate entries, at rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated AD required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, it said.
The chairman of the House Select Committee on China said Jan. 22 that the U.S. should take a harder line against China's aggressive policies on trade, investment and other matters.
