The Commerce Department is giving advance notice that in automatic five-year sunset reviews scheduled to begin in May it will consider revoking the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on circular welded carbon-quality steel pipe from China (A-570-910/C-570-911); glycine from India (A-533-833/C-533-834); and laminated woven sacks from Vietnam (A-552-823/C-552-824). It also will consider revoking the AD orders on glycine from Japan (A-588-878) and Thailand (A-549-837) and silicomanganese from India (A-533-823), Kazakhstan (A-834-807) and Venezuela (A-307-820), as well as the CVD order on glycine from China (C-570-081). These orders will be revoked, or the investigation terminated, unless Commerce finds that revocation would lead to dumping and the International Trade Commission finds that revocation would result in injury to the U.S. industry, Commerce said.

The Commerce Department has released amended final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on steel propane cylinders from Thailand (A-549-839) that were used to set final assessments of AD on importers for subject merchandise entered Aug. 1, 2021, through July 31, 2022 (see 2402220068). The amendment came as the result of a ministerial error allegation from Sahamitr Pressure Container Public Company Limited (SMPC), which was also the only company subject to the review. Commerce said it agreed with the allegation, and corrected an error with respect to the selection of sales databases used in SMPC’s margin analysis. The correction results in a change to the AD rate for SPMC from 2.17% to 2.15%. The new rate is effective March 29.

The following lawsuits were recently filed at the Court of International Trade:

The Commerce Department has published a correction to the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on steel nails from Malaysia (A-557-816), which were published Feb. 6. There were no rate changes to the final results, which will be used to set final assessments of AD duties on importers for subject merchandise entered July 2021 through June 2022.

The Commerce Department is amending its preliminary antidumping duty determination on mattresses from Taiwan (A-583-873), ending retroactive duties on the “all others” companies after finding its critical circumstances finding for those companies was in error. Suspension of liquidation and AD cash deposit requirements will now be in effect for entries on or after March 1, 2024, for the “all others” companies. Commerce’s critical circumstances findings remain unchanged for the individually investigated companies from Thailand -- Fuyue Mattress Industry Co., Ltd.; Star Seeds Co., Ltd.; and Yong Yi Cheng Co., Ltd. – so entries from those companies will remain subject to suspension of liquidation and cash deposit requirements effective Dec. 2, 2023 (see 2403010055).
