The Commerce Department made preliminary affirmative antidumping duty determinations that imports of paper plates from China (A-570-164), Thailand (A-549-849) and Vietnam (A-552-839), are being sold in the U.S. at less than fair value. The agency will generally impose AD cash deposit requirements on entries of subject merchandise beginning on Sept. 5, 2024, though cash deposit requirements take effect retroactively for some Chinese, Thai and Vietnamese companies, beginning on June 7, 2024.
The Department of Labor's Bureau of International Affairs said in a notice it's removing two goods from its List of Products Requiring Federal Contractor Certification as to Forced or Indentured Child Labor: shrimp from Thailand and garments from Vietnam. Federal contractors who supply products on Labor's list must certify that the product wasn't made using child labor.
The Commerce Department soon will suspend liquidation and set antidumping duty cash deposit requirements for imports of paper plates from China, Thailand and Vietnam, it said in a fact sheet Aug. 30. The agency's preliminary determinations set AD rates ranging from zero to 1,039.05% for Chinese companies, from 4.23% to 73.17% for Thai companies, and from zero to 159.79% for Vietnamese companies. Suspension of liquidation is already in effect for China and Vietnam for countervailing duty purposes (see 2407020004). AD suspension of liquidation and cash deposit requirements for these three countries will take effect for entries on or after the date of publication of the preliminary determinations in the Federal Register, which should occur in the coming days.
