The Commerce Department published notices in the July 15 Federal Register 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):

The Commerce Department issued the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on frozen warmwater shrimp from India (A-533-840). In a change from its preliminary results, the agency found a de minimis AD rate for Devi Fisheries. It continued to find a zero AD rate for Falcon. Commerce will now direct CBP to liquidate entries of subject merchandise during the period of review from Devi and Falcon without regard to AD duties, and will not collect a cash deposit on such entries until further notice. Subject merchandise from about 190 companies will be subject to a 3.49% cash deposit rate, while all other companies that aren't named in the notice and don't have AD rates established in previous reviews will be subject to the "all others" 10.17% AD rate. The new rates are effective July 16, and will be implemented by CBP soon.

The Commerce Department issued the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on frozen warmwater shrimp from Thailand (A-549-822). The agency rescinded the review for 12 companies that didn't export to the U.S. during the period of review. But it assigned zero AD rates to 149 other Thai companies, including mandatory respondents Marine Gold and Thai Union, as well as 147 non-individually reviewed companies.

A U.S. producer and importer of diamond sawblades asked the International Trade Commission to consider whether the antidumping duty order on diamond sawblades from China should be revoked. Husqvarna Construction Products North America on July 11 requested an ITC changed circumstances review to revisit the trade agency’s 2008 finding of threat of injury by Chinese imports. According to the self-described “largest domestic producer of diamond sawblades,” shifts in the industry have reduced competition between foreign and domestic products. And the 2008 injury finding was voided by Commerce’s revocation of the AD order on diamond sawblades from South Korea in 2011, Husqvarna said.

The International Trade Administration issued the preliminary results of its antidumping duty administrative review on hot-rolled carbon steel flat products from China (A-570-865). The agency preliminarily found that the three affiliated companies under review, Baosteel Group Corporation, Shanghai Baosteel International Economic & Trading Co., Ltd., and Baoshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. did not have any reviewable shipments to the U.S. If these preliminary results are finalized, subject merchandise from these companies will continue to enter at AD rates calculated in previous reviews. These preliminary results are not in effect. Commerce may modify them in the final results of this review and change the estimated AD cash deposit rate for these companies.

The International Trade Commission voted July 10 to begin an investigation to determine whether imports of a children’s television show called Mr. Young violate Section 337 by infringing copyrights held by E.T.
